Take a behind-the-scenes look at some of the exciting work going on at @NASAArmstrong to research, design, and build America's aviation systems of the future!

From idea to drawing to flight! 💡 🎨 🚁 By using NASA Armstrong's fabrication capabilities, a unique NASA pod was produced to advance computer vision for autonomous aviation and then tested at @NASAKennedy on an Airbus H135 helicopter. 🔗: go.nasa.gov/3CqtvqN @NASAaero

#OTD in 1962, an engine failure forced NASA X-15 research pilot Jack McKay to make an emergency landing at Mud Lake, Nevada. McKay suffered back injuries but was eventually able to resume X-15 pilot duties, making 22 more flights.
