Marking a major milestone in the X-37 project, an 85-percent scale test vehicle of the experimental space plane was delivered to NASA for flight testing. The X-40A test vehicle, first built for the Air Force by the Boeing Company at its Seal Beach, Calif., facility, and successfully flight tested at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., was shipped from Boeing to NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards, Calif.
