Title : HiMAT Subscale Research Vehicle Mated to B-52 Mothership in Flight
Caption :
The Highly Maneuverable Aircraft Technology (HiMAT) research vehicle is shown here mated to a wing pylon on NASA’s B-52 mothership aircraft. The HiMAT was a technology demonstrator to test structures and configurations for advanced fighter concepts. Over the course of more than 40 years, the B-52 proved a valuable workhorse for NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center (under various names), launching a wide variety of vehicles and conducting numerous other research flights.
