\n\nNestled in the Mojave Desert, NASA\u2019s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, pushes the boundaries of flight to advance the agency\u2019s aeronautics mission. This is where Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier and engineers are now pioneering the future of high-speed, autonomous, and electrified aircraft. Armstrong contributes to NASA\u2019s broader mission of innovation and collaboration, leveraging its uniquely capable location.\n\nThe story begins in 1947, when 13 engineers and technicians from NASA\u2019s predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, arrived at Muroc Army Airfield \u2013 now Edwards Air Force Base \u2013 in Southern California\u2019s high desert to establish the Station for High-Speed Research.\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n
