NASA's Dryden Research Centre is using this Hornet as a flying research platform to evaluate a number of emerging technologies in aircraft control and information systems. The Systems Research Aircraft, a pre-production two-seat version of the twin-engine tactical fighter, has been extensively modified for its research role into new technologies that could lead to lighter and more efficient aircraft designs with higher performance and greater safety.
