Research Aircraft Integration Facility

The Walter C. Williams Research Aircraft Integration Facility (RAIF) is located at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) in Edwards, California. It provides experienced research teams the means to conduct efficient and thorough testing of advanced, highly integrated research aircraft. The RAIF houses a number of capabilities geared toward accomplishing this objective:
