Abstract	Recent activities at NASA Dryden include first flights of the Quiet Spike sonic boom reduction project, a successful autonomous airborne refueling, and delivery of the Ikhana (Preditor) testbed vehicle. The Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) has begun implementation planning. Work at Dryden will include Blended Wing Body subscale testing (subsonic fixed wing), using Phoenix missiles as hypersonic testbeds, some supersonic testing on the F-15B, and adaptive flight controls testing for the Integrated Resilient Aircraft program. The C-20A aircraft is preparing for a flight readiness review in support of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) program. Dryden’s contribution to the Crew Exploration Vehicle will be in the area of man rating the launch abort system through flight tests. Dryden continues to contribute to aeronautics research in a wide range of diverse programs.
