The NC Integrated Dry Run tests, having completed their first phase Dec. 2-4, 2020, will continue with the next phase in March with a Bell OH-58C Kiowa helicopter, provided by Flight Research Inc. in Mojave, California, to act as a stand-in advanced air mobility vehicle.
The FAA and Flight Research Inc. test pilots are flying different types of maneuvers with the helicopter at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, to help assess procedures and infrastructure while also developing a data baseline for future industry partnership flight testing.
