The X-29 was an unusual aircraft with a truly unique silhouette. It combined many features that challenged the technologies of its day and represented special problems for the developers and the team of testers responsible for documenting its features and design goals. This book is a look at the "big picture" of what this team accomplished in a relatively fast-paced test program involving the truly unique X-29.

"Aircraft design, more than many other disciplines, exemplifies the phrase 'form follows function.' The laws of physics demand it. Aeronautical designers have always reached forward, stretching capabilities as far as the constraints of gravity and the limits of materials would allow their genius to probe. The emerging computer flight control and composite structures revolutions of the 1970s promised designers access to a hitherto impossible dream: a forward swept wing (FSW) fighter with enhanced maneuverability and efficiency. The benefits of forward swept wings have long been understood. Both forward and aft swept wings yield significant drag reduction in the transonic speed range. Since air flows inboard on forward swept wings, unlike the outboard flow on traditionally swept wings, the forward swept wings' tips remain unstalled at higher angles of attack, retaining maneuverability and controllability.

This is an excellent history of NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center. This volume adds another dimension to the existing literature about the history of the Hugh L. Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC). This is the first book to provide an overview of the entire 50 years of the Center's history from several perspectives. In this book, Lane Wallace also provides insights into the process of research engineering. She differentiates between flight testing and flight research, and she describes the "technical agility" of researchers at Dryden - a quality that has been an enormously important ingredient in the process of discovery through flight here in the Mojave Desert. She has also captured the spirit of the role flight research plays in the aeronautics research and development chain. Lane Wallace has included some "behind-the-scenes" events that provide additional insight into the human side of this highly technical discipline. Dryden frequently puts the innovations and ideas of others to the ultimate test of real flight conditions. The products of theory, wind-tunnel testing, and computational fluid dynamics--often developed elsewhere-- are absolutely critical ingredients in the process of aeronautical discovery. In this book, Lane Wallace has captured very effectively many of the ways in which Dryden has cooperated with its partners over the past half-century to advance the process of aeronautical discovery that has so often begun with Dryden's partners.An important part of the Dryden spirit was bequeathed by its first Director, Walter C. Williams. He joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in August of 1940. During World War II, he was a project engineer in the evaluation of several fighter aircraft--the P-47, P-51, and F6F--looking at handling qualities, low- and high-speed flight characteristics. As a member of Hartley A. Soule's stability and control branch at Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory, he was one of the NACA's foremost research airplane advocates. He led the first NACA team at Muroc and became the first Director of what was to become DFRC. He had tremendous experience in the flight testing of high-performance aircraft. As Dick Hallion noted in On the Frontier, Walt "was an inquisitive, take-charge sort of engineer, a man who believed that useful research had to confront actual problems and not be limited to studying theoretical aspects of aeronautical science."
