X-48B Blended Wing Body Research Aircraft Takes First Flight

EDWARDS, Calif. -- NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards,
Calif., provided critical support for the first flight July 20 of the
X-48B. The 21-foot wingspan, 500-pound remotely piloted test vehicle
took off for the first time at 8:42 a.m. PDT and climbed to an
altitude of 7,500 feet before landing 31 minutes later. The Boeing Co.
of Seattle developed the blended wing body research aircraft.
