National Campaign Completes Dry Run Testing

Flight Research Inc.’s Bell OH-58C Kiowa helicopter departs the leeward heliport at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California in March 2021. The Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign project studied wind and structure interactions as part of a second phase of testing called build II. This helicopter was used as a surrogate urban air mobility or air taxi vehicle.
