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.
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.
SAM sur sa table d'operations au NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. SAM (Sample Analysis at Mars) est l'un des dix instruments en activite sur le rover Curiosity, actuellement sur Mars. Les tests en laboratoire sont effectues sur ce testbed, le modele repliquant SAM exactement. Il se trouve normalement enferme dans une chambre martienne. Il est cette semaine en reparations et on en profite pour lui charger des echantillons de meteorite.

Next, try other guider.
Then add another vane to diagonal holder... done 5/11/12, will test next week.

Week 3 of the Hazard Services - Probabilistic Hazard Information (HS-PHI) experiment in the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT) at the National Weather Center in Norman, OK. The HS-PHI experiment is part of the Experimental Warning Program. This is the third year of the HS-PHI experiment in the HWT.The HS-PHI experiment advances the Forecasting A Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs) initiative by testing software which allows National Weather Services (NWS) forecasters to issue Probabilistic Hazard Information (PHI) at the severe weather warning time and space scales.
In September 1950, a testbed Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress flew with a T34 turboprop mounted in the nose of the bomber. The B-17 pictured later became "Liberty Belle". She flew many passengers with the Liberty Foundation, before being lost in a fire in 2011.
Note that only the one propeller is turning.
Photo from* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pratt-Whitney_T-34_B-17_testbe... "A Boeing B-17 used as the testbed for the Pratt & Whitney T-34 turboprop engine. In 1945 the U.S. Navy funded the development of a turboprop engine. The T-34 was produced from 1951 to 1960, but never used in a U.S. Navy aircraft. The best known "user" was the Douglas C-133 Cargomaster."

This is an interesting experimental helicopter, possibly a flying testbed rather than an unmanned piloted vehicle. I am unable to find anything more about this mysterious craft.
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 24 June to 19 July 2019. 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 explore 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 high spatio-temporal resolution precipitation forecasts could influence the warning decision making process, including the potential for increased warning lead time. Evaluations of the various probabilistic data sets will provide further understanding on the usability and effectiveness of these products, as well as guide future efforts of the Forecasting A Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs) project for flooding hazards. 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.

Another testbed for an engine. This time yje test is performed on a four-cylinder water-cooled in line engine. The cooling radiator may be seen mounted on the wall behind the test rig with lots of pipes to and from the engine circulating the water.
There is a little hint that this test was performed in Feance, given the second man from the left who wears a very long dust coat which till now I have only seen on early French photographs.
The test propeller is a heavy one, just straight with no curces as in real propellers.
This is the original testbed for Vic Edelbrock's line of speed equipment. Displayed in the museum at the Edelbrock manufacturing facility in Torrance, California.

A long-term trials and navigation testbed (30 years) for the Royal Air Force and the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Boscombe Down. Built in 1963, it was the last Comet to remain operational, flying until 1997. The final flight was from Boscombe Down to Bruntingthorpe in 1997 where it was the last surviving Comet capable of running under its own power. Registered as G-CPDA in 2000.
