	+ ATP Home + Flight Research    Facilities Home		NASA Dryden’s Research Aircraft Integration Facility (RAIF) provides the ability to seamlessly integrate simulation, and vehicle software and hardware systems under a single roof. This one-of-a-kind facility can simultaneously support a wide variety of advanced, highly integrated aerospace vehicles through all phases of a research program from conceptual design to flight. The RAIF offers high fidelity 6-DOF batch and in-real-time flight simulation capabilities, as well as support for system integration and closed-loop verification and validation testing of vehicle components and flight vehicles. Also available are complete aircraft ground-support services, including all electrical, hydraulic and cooling-air systems required for vehicle-system integration, functional checks and routine aircraft maintenance.     Above: The Walter C. Williams Research Aircraft Integration Facility (RAIF) is located at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) in Edwards, California.
