As center director, let me be the first to welcome you to the Dryden blog site. This is an exciting new Web feature we are embarking on to provide you with additional perspectives on our many projects.
As an engineer, I find myself in a constant struggle to convey information in a technically accurate manner while at the same time keeping it in terms understandable by non-engineers. On the flip side, I am often troubled with the responsibility of explaining the vagaries of federal government management, planning, and budgeting to an engineering community that expects exact answers. The great thing about a blog is that you have the opportunity to help guide the level of detail being provided.As we share information on our projects, I would like to encourage you to leave comments and tell us what you think!
Through this blog site, we hope to introduce the human perspective to the technical work we do and the technical considerations inherent in managing complex engineering projects. I am inviting people from throughout the Dryden organization to post updates on their work and share the challenges and accomplishments they face in their daily activities. Over time, I expect that topics covered in this forum will reflect the diversity of our workforce both in terms of expertise and the projects we support.
If there is a particular topic or item you would like to learn more about, leave us a comment and we will do our best to post the information. Thank you for taking time to visit the Dryden Blog.

Director
NASA Dryden Flight Research Center
Congratulations on the blog. I look forward to seeing what Dryden is up to here. I hope to see some of your folks on Twitter as well!

Dryden does maintain a Twitter account, our account name is NASADryden. Thanks for the comment. Kevin
hello what does it take to be in NASA
nice post admin…

to whom it may concern:
We would like to contact the director of NASA. We are sure we can get that a mass be thrusted to space with a speed of 60000-100000 km/per hour.
Sincerely,
Dr. Luis Amador, Researcher.
Below is a link that provides contact information for NASA.

Another option is to review the Research Opportunities page if you have a specific proposal.

I hope this helps!
I am a designer and builder of rocket powered land speed record cars. The vehicle I am currently working on is powered by the XLR-99 rocket engine from an X-15 rocket plane. You can see my vehicle at landspeedrecordrocketcar or http://www.sonicwind.com
In studying to build these vehicles I have self educated in aeronautics to a very high degree. Because of this I have invented a new concept in supersonic aircraft I call the “W” wave jet design. It utilizes blended wing,facet technologies and the Buseman effect for supersonic shock control. It can cruise at supersonic speeds generating litle ground shock wave effects. It is a mid sized executive class jet using a totally new design in wing and blended body shape. I have it posted on my “concepts” page at http://www.sonicwind.com and it is currently posted on the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) aero innovations page.
I want NASA to investigate this design as there are no patents on it whatsoever. Nor will there be in the future. At least not from me anyway. I enjoy putting new concepts out there to be examined and want to see where this exiciting new concept will go. Thank you.
This is my first time to visit this blog. I look forward for more interesting article.
