NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

The Research Aircraft Integration Facility (RAIF) provides high-fidelity real-time and batch flight simulation capabilities, closed-loop hardware-in-the-loop and vehicle-in-the-loop verification and validation testing, ground vibration testing, and routine aircraft maintenance. This facility can simultaneously support a variety of advanced, highly integrated research aircraft, including a mix of commercial, military, and unmanned vehicles of various sizes.

The co-location of project and facility management, vehicle maintenance, and engineering personnel allows the RAIF to support advanced aeronautical and space-based research throughout all phases of the research program within a single facility.
