Republic F-84F on the Ramp at Moffett Field
The Republic F84F Thunderjet fighter-bomber used by the United States Air Force was one of several high speed aircraft involved in flight research at the NACA Ames Aeronautical Laboratory (now, Ames Research Center) at Moffett Field, California. Instruments inside the aircraft record large quantities of data on its aerodynamic performance as it is flown by a NACA scientist-pilot through a carefully planned research program. Later this data will be anyalyzed and interpreted by NACA scientists and reports based on their findings will provide valuable information for designers of future aircraft. NACA (now, NASA) is the independent federal government agency responsible for research into the problems associated with flight

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Republic F-84F Thunderjet fighter-bomber on the ramp at Moffett Field, California. The United States Air Force utilized this high-speed aircraft for flight research conducted by the NACA Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, now known as Ames Research Center. Inside the Thunderjet, an array of sophisticated instruments meticulously recorded vast amounts of data regarding its aerodynamic performance. Skilled NACA scientist-pilots executed carefully planned research programs to gather this invaluable information. The subsequent analysis and interpretation of this data by NACA scientists will yield significant insights for future aircraft designers. Reports based on their findings will provide crucial knowledge that can shape and enhance the development of upcoming aviation technologies. NACA, which has since transformed into NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration), stands as an independent federal government agency dedicated to researching various challenges associated with flight. This image serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment in pushing boundaries and advancing aerospace exploration. As we admire this remarkable photograph, let us appreciate the collaborative efforts between military forces and scientific institutions like NACA/Ames Research Center in propelling aviation innovation forward. It is through such partnerships that we continue to soar towards new horizons in our quest for enhanced air travel capabilities.
