The mysterious Blackbird - described as the first-generation "stealth" aircraft, routinely cruised at speeds in excess of Mach 3 and at altitudes well above 80,000 feet - was first tested at Edwards in the 1960s.

The wheels of the Space Shuttle Columbia touched down at Edwards in 1981. The era of renewable space vehicles had dawned.

The Global Hawk, an unmanned aerial vehicle later used in Afghanistan, made its first flight at Edwards in 1998.

The X-35A and the X-32A, competing models for the Joint Strike Fighter program (JSF), made their test flights at Edwards in 2000.

You can stretch the limits of today's most exceptional military aircraft and systems without being in uniform. How? As a civilian, non-military engineer at Edwards Air Force Base. Our non-military engineers are definitely a breed apart. They roll up their sleeves and immerse themselves in hard-core engineering. Pushing papers and attending endless meetings are certainly not their style. Our engineers:

•	Do and see things that most engineers will never experience in a lifetime.
•	Work directly with today's most advanced aircraft weapon systems, including both manned and unmanned systems.
•	Make defense aircraft beg for mercy, by testing them to the very edge of their flight capabilities - and beyond.

The Electronic Warfare Directorate is the Air Force focal point
for electronic warfare (EW) test and evaluation. It provides the world's preeminent test and evaluation capabilities, resources, and expertise for EW and avionic systems.

Because it is the world-recognized focal point of Air Force
flight testing. But there is much more. The location. The high quality of life. You will see and do things here, both personally and professionally, that can't be duplicated anywhere else.
