 The X-35B flew from Palmdale, California, to nearby Edwards AFB on 3 July to continue its flight test program. The aircraft completed seventeen vertical takeoffs, hovers, and vertical landings at the Lockheed Martin plant in Palmdale. All of the X-35B vertical takeoffs, hovers, and landings were accomplished at 2,500 feet elevation, at temperatures up to ninety-four degrees Fahrenheit. Simon Hargreaves flew the aircraft to Edwards to begin the in-flight STOVL and conventional-flight testing series for the X-35B. |
