Since the 1940s, Dryden has been a hub for cutting-edge flight testing, contributing significantly to the development of modern aviation technologies. However, neither center had runways long enough to accommodate the B-47, so the aircraft was assigned to NACAs High-Speed Flight Research Station at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

At that point, you’re simply looking down the runway, and then it lifts off. You just make one great big U-turn, that way you can kind of watch the runway the whole time. That was kind of a strange feeling to get over that squishiness as the airplane settles down on the runway.” ” Ed Storo said after the F.2B

How much stronger would gears have to be, and how much longer would runways have to be if a plane would not reduce a large amount of its takeoff weight during the flight? This is the reason it is sometimes necessary to dump fuel in emergency situations when the plane needs to land shortly after takeoff.

The unmanned aircraft would be certified as an aircraft and be able to conduct several missions per day, conventionally taking off from runways as short as 1,000 meters and flying in non-exclusive airspace. This technology is expected to have a broad range of applications in science, defense, and emergency response.

During the fully autonomous takeoff, the Valkyrie engine throttles up like a conventional jet, accelerating down the runway with the KTLS. At lift-off speed, the Valkyrie separates from the KTLS, which then deploys drogue chutes and brakes to a stop on the runway, allowing the aircraft to continue its mission.
