NASA HAWK: NASA is expected to make the first flight of AV-6, one of two ex-U.S. Air Force Northrop Grumman Global Hawk unmanned aircraft, from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. on Oct. 23. The aircraft was successfully taxied on Oct. 20 “and all systems (both aircraft and ground station) operated nominally,” the agency says. Preflight checks were conducted Oct. 22, and assuming these pass as planned, NASA says the first sortie will consist of a 2-4 hour mission within the Edwards range.
NASA has selected a Williams International high-speed turbojet as the turbine element of its Turbine Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) engine test rig, which will be used to evaluate technologies for potential future two-stage to orbit launcher concepts.
