BACK HOME AGAIN The HL-10, a wingless "lifting body" developed by NASA researchers and built by Northrop, occupies an honored place outside NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center headquarters at Edwards. The fastest and highest-flying of the lifting-body aircraft series, the HL-10 was flown 37 times between 1966 and 1975. The HL-10 was to have been displayed by the Museum of Science and Industry in Los Angeles, but somebody there dropped it. About 10 volunteers from Dryden spent 700 hours over two years restoring the craft.
