Project: Tiny TIM (Threats-In-Motion)
Location: NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed / National Weather Center (Norman, OK)

This experiment brings together NWS forecasters and researchers to evaluate and provide feedback on the concept of allowing warnings to be extended in time and area, a first step towards Threats-In-Motion (TIM) for severe weather warnings for hail, wind, and tornadoes. To facilitate this evaluation, forecasters use Hazard Services Convective to create and manage TIM warnings. The concept and software is tested on several archived cases.
Boeing's Maritime Surveillance Aircraft testbed machine. This aircraft was one of Boeing's own corporate jet fleet and is testing the systems fit for the Challenger 605 MSA. The MSA will carry similar camera, radar, communications and electronic sensor systems to those fitted to the P-8 Poseidon, as a lower cost alternative.

Well, well, well....look what we have here. This is the sixth YF-16A, configured as the Advanced Fighter Technology Integration test bed. The AFTI/F-16 was flown to the USAF Air Force Museum on February 11th, 2001
Kris Klop, this one is for you and all your recent F-16 uploads that are totally legit man!!!
The only remaining L1011 in the world, nicknamed the "Stargazer", (N140SC) landing at Goodyear Airport. Currently owned by Northrop Grumman, as a testbed.
Sometime in the next several years, the Lowline project intends to take over an abandoned subway stop and turn it into a green space. They'll pipe sunlight into the space using special tubes and grow all sorts of plants. This space served as a testbed and publicity vehicle.
closeup of 4-5 days' wind movement, from Helsinki
via sensors and Processing, into form
Wind movement measurement data (wind direction, velocity and temperature) was used to generate a 3d form, which was then cut out of wood.
( Digital wind meets wood :)
The wind line's direction is the compass direction of the wind, the wind's velocity is translated into the sculptural/formal wind line's direction. And, the wind's temperature is translated into the wind's height. The plateau represents 0°c. When the wind line is above, the temperature is somewhere above zero degrees, when the wind is cold, it digs into the wood surface.
The project is made possible via (Processing and) a kind cooperation between the Media Lab and School of Design/Paja (special thanks Hannu, the machine master!) Of the Helsinki Aalto University/Art & Design campus.
The data very generously comes from the Finnish Meteorological Institute's Testbed Helsinki Project.
MRMS HMT Hydro Experiment
The Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) Hydrometeorology Testbed - Hydro (hereafter denoted as HMT-Hydro) experiment is a part of the United States Weather Research Program (USWRP) through the Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) that runs from 25 June to 20 July 2018. During the HMT-Hydro experiment, forecasters and hydrologists from the National Weather Service (NWS) will work with National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) research scientists to assess new technology and techniques to improve the prediction and warning of flash flooding. In particular, NWS participants will evaluate new probabilistic hydrologic modeling concepts and output within the Flooded Locations and Simulated Hydrographs (FLASH) system that could help convey the uncertainty of the flash flood threat. NWS participants will also evaluate high resolution precipitation forecasts from the NSSL Warn-on-Forecast (WoF) project and the addition of these forecasts into the FLASH system. Feedback from participants will allow NSSL research scientists to identify how these precipitation forecasts could influence the warning decision making process, including the potential for increased warning lead time. The HMT-Hydro experiment runs in conjunction with the Flash Flood and Intense Rainfall (FFaIR) experiment at the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) to collaborate on the short-term forecasting of flash flooding for both a national and regional scale.

At the top of the photo, a 2-engine North American AJ-1 Savage bomber like my dad flew, sits beside a 5-engine Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, later to become "Liberty Belle".
Both my dad's AJ-1 Savage and this exact B-17 would be destroyed during emergency landings. The crew of Liberty Belle escaped unscathed; my dad was lost along with his crew when his aircraft crashed.

So when "they" tell you that a rover "is on Mars" you'll know where the pictures are really coming from.
Martin P6M-1 Seamaster scale drawing from the 1957-58 edition of Air Progress Annual. Although styrene plastic kits were coming on the market, in those days, most modelers still preferred to build in balsa wood. Such scale drawings were a big help to them. Seamaster was one of the airframes considered as a testbed for nuclear aircraft engines. It was also the last in a long line of seaplanes built in Baltimore by the Glenn L. Martin Company.

GOES-R / JPSS Convective Applications experiment of the Experimental Warning Program in the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT) at the National Weather Center in Norman, OK. The GOES-R / JPSS experiment will have two components: a) an evaluation of multiple CONUS GOES-R convective applications, including satellite imagery, derived products, and multispectral applications along with GLM lightning; and b) a real-time evaluation of the JPSS sounding product suite NUCAPS.
I built this Long John as a testbed for steering issues and to get used to that kind of bike. I mostly used scratch material - an old folding bike, an old bike from eastern germany, rusty waterpipes and parts of a former shopping cart.
It was just one-of-a-kind, truly punkrockzombiestyle and fun to ride! I then scraped it to re-use the steering tube for my next project... sniff.
