	+ Aeronautics Home		Flight Loads Laboratory The Flight Loads Laboratory (FLL) at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) was constructed in 1964 as a unique national laboratory to support flight research and tests of aircraft structures. The FLL conducts combined mechanical-load and thermal studies of structural components and complete flight vehicles, and calibrates and evaluates flight-loads instrumentation under anticipated in-flight conditions. + Read More   Research Aircraft Integration Facility The Research Aircraft Integration Facility (RAIF) at DFRC verifies and validates complex designs of aerospace vehicles and their sub-systems prior to flight. This one-of-a-kind facility can simultaneously support a variety of advanced, highly integrated aerospace vehicles through all phases of a research program. + Read More   Western Aeronautical Test Range The Western Aeronautical Test Range (WATR) at DFRC supports aerospace flight research and technology integration, space exploration concepts, airborne remote sensing and a wide variety of science missions. + Read More   Support Aircraft Support aircraft at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center provide versatile, safe platforms that play a vital role in successful flight and ground operations. + Read More
