HL-10 Lifting Body's First Flight Landing at Edwards AFB in 1966

NASA's HL-10 Lifting Body completes its maiden flight on December 22, 1966, landing on Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Despite suffering buffeting and control issues due to airflow separation from the fins, pilot Bruce Peterson succeeded in landing the vehicle safely. This image emphasizes historical milestones in aerospace research and development and could be used for educational materials focusing on aviation history.
