One of three SR-71 aircraft loaned to NASA for a high-speed research program retracts its landing gear after taking off from NASA's Ames-Dryden Flight Research Facility, Edwards, California, on a 1990 research flight. (Later re-named the Dryden Flight Research Center.) One of the SR-71As was returned to the Air Force for active duty in 1995. Data from the SR-71 high-speed research program may be used to aid designers of future supersonic/hypersonic aircraft and propulsion systems.
