Summary

[edit]
Description
English: NASA's Boeing 737 is shown in front of the hangar at it's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia after its arrival in July 1973

Since it first entered the NASA inventory in 1974, NASA 515 was a testbed for research into a multitude of issues affecting aircraft safety, efficiency and capacity. Called an "airborne trailblazer,"it went beyond the typical research facility in that it demonstrates new concepts in real-world situations. As a result, this flying laboratory and its supporting facilities were responsible for rapid adoption of new aviation technology by U.S. industry.

NASA 515 was the first B-737 built. First used by Boeing to qualify the 737 for airline service, the prototype 737 was heavily modified by NASA. NASA concluded its use of the aircraft in 2003.
