Edwards AFB History
The history of Edwards AFB and the military's use of Rogers and Rosamond
lakebeds goes back to the early 1930s when Army Air Corps aircraft from
what is now March Air Force Base, Riverside, Calif., flew over the lakebeds
for bombing and gunnery practice. During World War II, facilities were
established adjacent to Rogers Dry Lake then called Muroc Dry Lake to train
bomber and fighter crews for duty overseas.
During the early 1940s, the base was chosen as the site to flight test
the nation's first jet aircraft, the Bell XP-59A Airacomet. As the flight
test program progressed, it became evident that the lakebed coupled with
year around flying weather was an ideal place for all phases of aircraft
testing and permanent facilities began emerging.
In 1949, what was then called Muroc Army Air Field was renamed Edwards
AFB in honor of Capt. Glen Edwards, copilot on the YB-49 jetpowered flying
wing which crashed near the base June 4, 1948.
The Air Force Flight Test Center was activated at Edwards in 1951, and
with the increased number of flight test programs carried out at Edwards
in recent years, the natural surfaces of Rogers and Rosamond dry lakebeds
have taken on even greater roles as emergency landing sites and sites for
test and research.
Edwards Air Force Base occupies territory once explored by Spanish colonists
and settled by pioneer homesteaders. The military base began as a stark
and remote bombing range in 1933 and went on to become a major bomber training
base in World War II. The Air Force Flight Test Center originated during
the darkest days of the war, and has since achieved more major milestones
in flight than anywhere else in the world.
Muroc Bombing and Gunnery Range, within the confines of present-day
Edwards AFB, was first established by then-Lt. Col. H.H. "Hap" Arnold as
a remote training site for his March Field squadrons in September of 1933.
It continued to serve in that capacity until July 1942 when it was activated
as a separate post and designated Muroc Army Air Base. Throughout the war
years, the primary mission at Muroc was to provide final combat training
for aircrews just prior to overseas deployment. In the spring of 1942,
however, the immense volume of flight test already being conducted at Wright
Field, in Ohio, was one of the factors driving a search for a new site
where a "Top Secret" airplane could undergo tests. The highly classified
nature of the aircraft compelled program officials to find an isolated
site "away from prying eyes." The urgent need to complete the program without
delay dictated a location with good, year-round flying weather. And the
risks inherent in the radical new technology to be demonstrated on the
aircraft dictated a spacious landing field. After examining a number of
locations around the country, they selected a site along the north shore
of the enormous, flat surface of Rogers Dry Lake about six miles away from
the training base at Muroc. The aircraft was America's first jet, the Bell
XP-59A Airacomet.
On October 2, 1942, Bell test pilot Bob Stanley lifted the wheels of
the jet off the lake bed for the airplane's first "official flight" (it
had actually lifted off for the first time on the previous day during high-speed
taxi tests) and the turbojet revolution belatedly got underway in this
country. Like all of the early turbojets, the Airacomet was woefully underpowered
and it required extremely long takeoff rolls. This, plus the fact that
the new turbojet engines had a nasty habit of flaming out, confirmed the
wisdom of selecting the vast 44-square mile expanse of the lake bed to
serve as a landing field. In years to come, it would become a welcome haven
to countless pilots in distress.
The XP-59A introduced flight test to the Mojave...but the testing that
took place at the small Materiel Division test site (now known as North
Base) bore little resemblance to what has evolved since. There were no
aircraft flying chase for the Airacomet's first flights, for example. There
was no telemetry or mission control center, just a portable two-way radio
and a voice recorder which were set up on the ramp outside the hangar.
The most important sources of data during those first few flights were
the pilot's kneepad notes and perhaps the most critical instrumentation
was still the seat of his pants; not too scientific but, by latter-day
standards, relatively inexpensive and affording a means of real-time data
acquisition which was certain to yield immediate analyses of any problems.
Ultimately, an instrumentation panel, filmed by a camera activated by the
pilot, was installed and the aircraft was instrumented to collect data
on about 20 different parameters. Much of the instrumentation, however,
remained primitive, to say the least. Control stick forces, for example,
were measured with a modified fish scale. It was an age when old-fashioned
common sense and improvisation still ruled supreme...and slide-rule data
reduction and analysis took days of painstaking manual effort.
As with virtually all of the test programs conducted during the war
years, most of the actual flight test work on the P-59 was conducted by
the contractor. Although Army Air Forces (AAF) pilots flew the aircraft
from time to time, and flight test engineers from Wright Field reviewed
the data, the formal preliminary military test and evaluation program did
not commence until the Fall of 1943, a year after the first flight. Designed
to validate the contractor's reports, this preliminary evaluation consisted
of a very limited number of flights and was essentially completed within
a month. Formal operational suitability and accelerated service tests did
not get underway until 1944, well after the AAF had decided that the airplane
would not be suitable for combat operations and would, instead, be relegated
to a training role.
The P-59s were tested at Muroc from October 1942 through February 1944
without a single accident and, though the aircraft did not prove to be
combat worthy, the successful conduct of its test program, combined with
the success of the Lockheed XP-80 program which followed it in early 1944,
sealed the future destiny of the remote high desert installation. Muroc
would thenceforth become synonymous with the cutting edge of the turbojet
revolution in America.
All of America's early jets--both Air Force and Navy--underwent testing
at Muroc and the successful conduct of these programs attracted a new type
of research activity to the base in late 1946. The rocket-powered Bell
X-1 was the first in a long series of experimental airplanes that were
designed to prove or disprove aeronautical concepts--to probe the most
challenging unknowns of flight and solve their mysteries. On October 14,
1947, Capt. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager became the first man to exceed the
speed of sound in this small bullet-shaped airplane. By latter-day standards,
the X-1 flight test team that accomplished this feat was extraordinarily
small, never numbering more than about 15-20 Air Force, National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, later NASA), and contractor personnel.
The seat of the pilot's pants remained important but onboard instrumentation
now covered about 30 different parameters, the use of radar for tracking
was first introduced and there was even some very preliminary, experimental
use of telemetry. There was no formal safety review process as we know
it today, however; not even for the most hazardous programs such as the
X-1's envelope expansion tests. Beyond the simple maxim, "don't go too
far, too fast," Captain Yeager and project engineer Capt. Jack Ridley were
on their own. They sat down just prior to a mission and decided "how far
and how fast" and then Yeager went up and flew the mission. With the X-1,
flight testing at Muroc began to assume two distinct identities: highly
experimental research programs--such as with the X-3 X-4, X-5 and the XF-92A--were
typically flown in conjunction with NACA and conducted in a very methodical
fashion to answer largely theoretical questions; the bulk of the testing,
then as now, however, focused on highly accelerated Air Force and contractor
evaluations of the capabilities of new prototype aircraft and systems proposed
for the operational inventory.
Not surprisingly, the rather informal approach to safety that prevailed
during the late 40s--and even into the 1950s--was one of the factors contributing
to a horrendous accident rate. There were, of course, a number of other
circumstances: the corps of test pilots at Muroc remained very small and
thus they commonly averaged a hundred or more flying hours per month, year
after year. And they flew an enormous number of different types and models
of aircraft, each with its own cockpit and instrument panel configuration.
Chuck Yeager, for example, once flew 27 different types of airplanes within
a single one-month period. The year 1948 was particularly tragic, as at
least 13 fatalities were recorded (surviving records are very incomplete).
One of them was a young captain, Glen W. Edwards, who was lost in the crash
of a YB-49 flying wing. In December of 1949, the base was renamed in his
honor. By that time it had already long since become the de facto center
of American flight research and, on June 25, 1951, this fact was finally
given official recognition when it was designated as the U. S. Air Force
Flight Test Center (AFFTC).
That same year, the USAF Test Pilot School moved to Edwards from Wright
Field. The curriculum focused on the traditional field of performance testing
and the relatively new field of stability and control which had suddenly
assumed critical importance with the dramatic increases in speed offered
by the new turbojets. Increasingly, as the aircraft and their onboard systems
became evermore complex throughout the 50s, those selected for admission
to the school would have to be far more than just outstanding pilots; they
would also have to have the type of formal technical backgrounds which
would enable them to thoroughly understand all of the systems they would
be evaluating and permit them to translate their experiences into the very
precise jargon of the engineer.
By any standard, the 1950s was a remarkable period in the history of
aviation and there was no better evidence of this than what transpired
at Edwards where, if a concept seemed feasible--or even just desirable--it
was evaluated in the skies above the sprawling 300,000-acre base. When
NACA test pilot Scott Crossfield first arrived on base in 1950, he found
it "hard to believe that this primeval environment was the center of aviation's
most advanced flying." He likened it to an "Indianapolis of the air." "But
it was more than that," he concluded: It was "an Indianapolis without rules"
because the test pilots at Edwards "lived with the feeling that everything
we were doing was something that probably had never been attempted or even
thought of before." Crossfield would become most closely identified with
the series of experimental aircraft that had been launched with the X-1
and certainly the most publicized activity at Edwards throughout the 50s
continued to be in the realm of flight research where the limits of time,
space, and the imagination were dramatically expanded. The experimental
rocket planes, for example, continued to expand the boundaries of the high-speed
and stratospheric frontiers. As the decade opened, the first-generation
X-1's Mach 1.45 (957 mph) and 71,902 feet represented the edge of the envelope.
These marks were soon surpassed by the D-558-II Douglas Skyrocket. In 1951,
Douglas test pilot Bill Bridgeman flew it to a top speed of Mach 1.88 (1,180
mph) and a peak altitude of 74,494 feet. Then, in 1953, Marine test pilot
Lt. Col. Marion Carl flew it to an altitude of 83,235 feet and, on November
20 of that year, the NACA's Scott Crossfield became the first man to reach
Mach 2, as he piloted the Skyrocket to a speed of Mach 2.005 (1,291 mph).
Less than a month later, Maj. Chuck Yeager obliterated this record as he
piloted the second-generation Bell X-1A to a top speed of Mach 2.44 (1,650
mph) and, just nine months later, Maj. Arthur "Kit" Murray flew the same
airplane to a new altitude record of 90,440 feet. These records stood for
less than three years as, in September 1956, Capt. Iven Kincheloe became
the first man to soar above 100,000 feet, as he piloted the Bell X-2 to
a then-remarkable altitude of 126,200 feet. Flying the same airplane, just
weeks later, on September 27, Capt. Mel Apt became the first man to exceed
Mach 3, as he accelerated to a speed of Mach 3.2 (2,094 mph). His moment
of glory was tragically brief, however. Just seconds after attaining top
speed, the X-2 tumbled violently out of control and Apt was never able
to recover it. With the loss of the X-2, the search for many of the answers
to the riddles of high-Mach flight had to be postponed until the arrival
of the most ambitious of all the rocket planes--the truly awesome North
American X-15.
Meanwhile, the turbojet revolution reached a truly high plateau at Edwards
during the 50s, as aircraft such as the famed "Century Series" of fighters--the
F-100 Super Sabre , F-102 Delta Dagger, and the Mach 2 F-104 Starfighter,
F-105 Thunderchief and F-106 Delta Dart--made supersonic flight almost
commonplace. Incorporating many advances made possible by the experimental
research programs, each of these aircraft were dazzling technological achievements
and, indeed, as a group, they defined the basic speed and altitude envelopes
for fighters which are still in effect to this day. Because they represented
a virtual quantum increase in performance and capabilities, the job of
testing them was correspondingly far more difficult than anything ever
before encountered. It is a truism that, throughout the history of flight
test, the performance and complexity of the aircraft have driven the technologies
required to evaluate them. Thus, during the 50s, oscillographs and strip
charts began to replace barographs and photo panels, as the number of parameters
examined edged upward toward a hundred. We also began to see the first
appearance of precision optical trackers for time-space-position information
(TSPI) and, by the late 50s, more extensive use of primitive telemetry
systems, the limited use of magnetic tape to record data and early generation
mainframe computers to process it. Flight testing also began to require
greater numbers of people and to consume much more time, as well. The P-80
had entered operational service by March of 1945, just 14 months after
the first flight of the prototype aircraft. Most of the Century Series
fighters underwent flight testing for at least four years before they even
began to enter the operational inventory...and, in reality, each of them
still required several more years of testing before all of their deficiencies
were corrected. This meant that the operational users were not receiving
fully developed airplanes and the result of this circumstance was extremely
drawn-out and costly retrofits.
A major part of the problem stemmed from the organization of flight
test. By the 1950s, the test process had evolved into no less than eight
distinct phases, each performed by different organizations and frequently
at different locations (Fig. 1). Significant Air Force involvement did
not commence until Phase IV and operational testing by the Air Proving
Ground Command did not get underway until Phase VII, long after large quantities
of production aircraft had already left the assembly line. This resulted
in frequent and costly duplication of test efforts, expensive retrofits,
and extremely late deliveries into the useful Air Force inventory. As a
result of these problems, flight testing was finally consolidated into
a three-category structure in 1958 (Fig. 2). Under this structure, Air
Force participation spanned all three categories, its management control
commenced much earlier and, increasingly, virtually all developmental testing
was concentrated at Edwards. Nevertheless, operational testing still came
very late in the process--in fact, frequently after the acquisition process
was all but complete--and thus much of the problem remained.
The 1960s were ushered in with a new emphasis on space flight. The Test
Pilot School, for example, was redesignated the Aerospace Research Pilot
School as it got into the business of training future astronauts. Down
the flight line, the X-15 was beginning to explore hypersonic and exoatmospheric
flight. Indeed, within an eight-month span in 1961, it became the first
aircraft to exceed Mach 4, -5, and -6, and it later went on to become the
first--and, so far, only--airplane to fly in near space as it soared to
a peak altitude of more than 67 miles (354,200 feet). With Maj. William
J. "Pete" Knight at the controls on October 3, 1967, the highly modified
X-15A-2 ultimately reached a top speed of Mach 6.72 (4,520 mph) which remains,
to this day, the highest speed ever attained in an airplane. As always,
the extraordinary capabilities of this vehicle drove the technologies required
to test it. The X-15 covered a lot of space in a short time and thus NASA
and the Air Force developed the "High-Range," a 400-mile chain of radar
and data acquisition sites. Equipped with radio and telemetry systems capable
of relaying continuous voice communications and up to 600,000 data bits
per minute (or 1250 bytes/second) back to Edwards, this range network permitted
flight controllers and test engineers, for the first time, to monitor each
mission in real time by following raw data trends on strip charts.
While space-related activities captured the public's imagination, test
pilots at Edwards were also continuing to expand the frontiers of atmospheric
flight in air-breathing jet-powered aircraft such as the XB-70 Valkyrie
and the YF-12 and SR-71 Blackbirds. The mammoth, 500,000-pound Valkyrie
proved itself capable of sustained triple-sonic flight operations at altitudes
above 70,000 feet while, in addition to being what has been described as
first-generation "stealth aircraft," the mysterious Blackbirds provided
even more dazzling performance, as they cruised at speeds in excess of
Mach 3 and at altitudes well above 80,000 feet.
The 60s also witnessed the arrival of total package procurement (concurrent
development, testing and production), the Vietnam conflict and a new generation
of increasingly complex aircraft destined for the operational inventory.
One of them was the trouble-plagued F-111. By far the most sophisticated
design of its time, the F-111 pushed the state of the art and, in doing
so, it opened up a Pandora's box of surprises. For example, integrating
all of those new little black boxes, in a "fly-fix-fly" fashion, proved
to be an extremely laborious and, more important, time-consuming process.
And this was only one of many problems encountered in the program. First
flown in 1964, the F-111A's initial operational testing finally came during
its much-publicized Combat Lancer deployment to Thailand in 1968, an episode
which demonstrated, tragically, that the aircraft was far from combat ready.
Indeed, it was still undergoing Category I tests in 1972 and Cat II tests
in 1973. Category III testing was ultimately skipped, altogether. In short,
a minimally satisfactory "product" was seven years late in getting to its
customer.
Based on this experience, in 1972, the Air Force again restructured
testing into a two-part process by simply splitting it into development
test and evaluation and initial operational test and evaluation and then
combining the two so that meaningful operational test and evaluation could
be completed at Edwards prior to any production decisions (Fig. 3). The
vehicle for accomplishing this was--and has since remained--the combined
test force (Fig. 4). The advantages offered by this approach have been
substantial, permitting each organization to define requirements and report
independently while taking advantage of common-use facilities, joint-use
aircraft, combined maintenance and aircrews, combined missions, and common
data bases.
With the decline of the military manned space mission in the early 70s,
the Aerospace Research Pilot School was once again redesignated the USAF
Test Pilot School and the change was more than symbolic. Based on a survey
of graduates still active in the flight test business, the school completely
revamped its curriculum to reflect major changes which had recently taken
place. Experiences with aircraft such as the F-111 had demonstrated that
the proliferation of increasingly sophisticated onboard avionics, sensor,
and fire control systems would be a constant and that the supervision of
test programs would increasingly require strong management skills. Thus
the school replaced the space-oriented phase of its curriculum with a whole
new battery of courses which focused on systems test and test management.
The aircraft that arrived in the 1970s--the F-15, with its advanced
engine and fire-control system; the B-1, with its multitude of highly sophisticated
offensive and defensive systems; and the F-16, with its "fly-by-wire" flight
control system--more than bore out the prophecy concerning the ever-increasing
importance of systems testing and integration. Needless to say, the complexity
of these aircraft and their systems forced yet another revolution in the
Flight Test Center's data acquisition and processing capabilities. The
F-15 and F-16, for example, were each originally instrumented for about
300 different parameters and onboard telemetry systems were capable of
transmitting data to ground stations at a rate of about 160,000 bytes per
second. Moreover, a major new element of complexity was introduced into
the flight test process in the late 70s. At a remote location, in 1978-79,
the AFFTC's Lt. Col. N.K. "Ken" Dyson and a pair of flight test engineers
from the Center were engaged in proof-of-concept testing with the Lockheed
Have Blue low-observables technology demonstrator. The successful conduct
of these tests led immediately to the development of a new subsonic attack
aircraft which was designated the F-117A and a new revolution--the stealth
revolution--was underway.
The eighties opened with one of the major episodes in all of Edwards
history as, at 10:20:57 (Pacific Time) on April 14, 1981, the base was
once again the scene of high drama, as the Space Shuttle Columbia's wheels
touched down on historic Rogers Dry Lake. Astronauts John Young and Robert
Crippen had just successfully landed the first orbiting space vehicle ever
to leave the earth under rocket power and return on the wings of an aircraft;
and a new era--the era of reusable space vehicles--had dawned. It seemed
only fitting that Columbia should make its first landings at Edwards where
so many major milestones in flight had been accomplished and where so many
of the shuttle's antecedents had proven the concepts which had made it
possible. It had only been a little over 30 years since Chuck Yeager had
first penetrated the sonic "wall." Within two years, pilot-astronauts were
almost routinely flying an operational space vehicle at speeds in excess
of Mach 24. In that relatively short interval between the X-1 and the shuttle,
the mysteries of hypersonic flight, lifting reentry, and aerothermodynamics
had all been fathomed and mastered by flight researchers at Edwards.
Spectacular events have become almost commonplace at Edwards over the
years but, once again, they have always represented only a small part of
the AFFTC's workload. The primary job has always been to assure that, if
and when the need arises, American aircrews will go into combat with the
most effective and reliable operational aircraft in the world...and it
has continued to meet this challenge since the early 80s as the capabilities
of existing aircraft--such as the F-15 and F-16--have been continuously
refined and expanded and as totally new aircraft and systems--incorporating
radical new technologies--were developed for future operational use. The
80s, for example, witnessed the development of the new F-15E dual-role
fighter--which went on to demonstrate truly remarkable combat effectiveness
in the Persian Gulf conflict of the early 90s--and the Low Altitude Navigation
and Targeting Infrared for Night (or LANTIRN) system--which, in that same
conflict, helped revolutionize air-to-ground combat operations by denying
our adversary the once comforting sanctuary of night.
The late 80s witnessed the arrival of the first giant flying wing to
soar over the base in nearly 40 years. The thin silhouette, compound curves
and other low-observable characteristics of the B-2 bomber represented
third-generation stealth technology (following the SR-71 and Have Blue/F-117)
and it was, by far, the most sophisticated and complex airplane ever built.
The early 90s saw the arrival of a pair of prototypes which offered
a glimpse of the future--a future which would give a new definition to
the term "air superiority"--as the YF-22A and the YF-23A squared off in
a brief demonstration and validation (DEM/VAL) risk-reduction flight test
program. In contrast to the F-117A and the B-2, both of which had been
point designed for stealth, these two prototypes were the first airplanes
ever to blend stealth with agility and high-speed, supersonic cruise capability.
As this is being written, the AFFTC was making preparations for engineering
and management development (EMD) testing of the F-22A which was selected
to become the Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter. The EMD program will
pose perhaps the greatest challenge ever faced by the AFFTC because, in
addition to all of the advanced features of the original prototypes, the
EMD airplanes will incorporate a state-of-the-art, fully integrated avionics
and sensor suite which will employ a family of common hardware and software
modules linked to a single computer capable of up to 10 billion signal
processing operations per second. The time-sharing capability of this system
will enable it to fuse and analyze diverse streams of data from each of
the fighter's highly advanced sensor systems into a synthesized and highly
readable "glass cockpit" display. The successful integration of this system,
alone, will be a daunting challenge, indeed.
In an age of spiraling technology, flight testing has become a remarkably
complex process and this has forced an ongoing revolution in the Flight
Test Center's data acquisition and processing capabilities. Today, systems-intensive
fighters are instrumented for up to 6,000 different parameters--and the
number increases to 9,000 for the B-2--and millions of bytes of data per
second can be telemetered to the ground for near-real-time reduction and
analysis before the aircraft touches down. In fact, the heavy load of data
and the extraordinary number of costly flying hours required to test and
integrate all of these new systems under the old "fly-fix-fly" method forced
the AFFTC to rethink its whole approach to the business of testing. As
a result, in the 1980s, the development of facilities such as the Integration
Facility for Avionic Systems Test, the Benefield Anechoic Facility, and
the Test and Evaluation Mission Simulator (which now comprise the Avionics
Test and Integration Complex) permitted the testing of these software-intensive
systems--and even their integration--on the ground before they were taken
up and put through the time-consuming and resource-intensive ordeal of
flight test.
Flight testing at Edwards AFB has come a long way since the XP-59A first
lifted off from the lake bed more than five decades ago. Over the years
since, the U.S. Air Force and, indeed, the world of aerospace, in general,
have continued to meet their future in the clear blue skies above the base's
sprawling expanse. Every aircraft to enter the U.S. Air Force's inventory
(and a great many that failed to do so) has first been put through its
paces at Edwards and, arguably, more major milestones in flight have occurred
at the base than anywhere else in the world. During the past half-century,
the ever-accelerating pace of technological change has been daunting, to
say the least, but the Edwards flight test community has repeatedly demonstrated
the ability to adapt to such change and to master the many challenges it
inevitably imposes. The turbojet revolution, the supersonic and hypersonic
revolutions, the space revolution, the systems revolution and, now, the
stealth revolution, each has imposed seemingly insurmountable obstacles--obstacles
that have been overcome through a combination of technical skill, daring,
ingenuity, and skillful management. Indeed, the U.S. Air Force Flight Test
Center's unique blend of natural, technical and human resources have transformed
it into something much more than just an Air Force asset; it is, indeed,
an irreplaceable national asset.
