Summary[edit]

Description The NASA Lockheed SR-71A (USAF s/n 61-7980), refuels from an USAF Lockheed NKC-135E Stratotanker (s/n 54-3135) from Edwards Air Force Base during the first flight of the NASA/Rocketdyne/Lockheed Martin Linear Aerospike SR-71 Experiment (LASRE). The flight took place on 31 October 1997 at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California. The SR-71 took off at 08:31 hrs (local time). The aircraft flew for one hour and fifty minutes, reaching a maximum speed of Mach 1.2 before landing at Edwards at 10:21 hrs, successfully validating the SR-71/linear aerospike experiment configuration. The goal of the first flight was to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics and the handling of the SR-71/linear aerospike experiment configuration. The engine was not fired during the flight.
