Flight Research Center. Armstrong (until March 1, 2014 named after Dryden [1] ) is a NASA research center located at the Edwards Air Force Base in California . The Center conducts research on flights of aircraft at altitudes from 100 m to 30 km , at speeds from 15 km / h to M = 10 and long non-stop flights (lasting up to 100 hours ). The possibility of using fundamentally new aircraft engines, for example hydrogen or engines using solar energy, is being studied.
