After the airplane itself is assembled, the "contractor's" test pilots have the ticklish job of easing it into the air. In the case of high-speed aircraft, this is generally done at Muroc; civilian pilots like the field as much as the Air Force does. Untested aircraft are shipped...
After the first flight tests, the new airplane (if still intact) goes back to the manufacturer with a detailed report. If he can convince the Air Force that its defects have been corrected, the Air Force buys several improved copies and turns them over to test pilots for final "evaluation." Since the airplane's basic flight characteristics are well understood by then, evaluation work is usually done at Wright-Patterson Field, Dayton, close to the great laboratories of the Engineering Division. The airplane is flown at all possible altitudes, loads, power outputs and rates of climb. It is strained...
