Abstract:

Arnold Engineering Development Center is the worlds largest and most complex collection of flight simulation test facilities. The 4,000 acres that comprise AEDC are part of the 40,000 acres of Arnold Air Force Base. The base was dedicated June 25,1951 by President Harry Truman. AEDC has tested virtually every high performance aerospace system the Department of Defense has used since. This annual report gives an yearly overview of activities at the Center, including economic impact, manpower, history, flight testing in the areas of aerodynamics, aeropropulsion, space and missiles, technology, computer technology and the major systems tested.
