In 1993 Dryden acquired the NF-15B, a two-seat jet fighter that had undergone significant modifications including the addition of canards and a pair of thrust-vectoring nozzles. Dryden engineers used the aircraft as a test bed for research on Intelligent Flight Control Systems, Lift and Nozzle Change Effects on Tail Shock, and Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles. The NF-15B was retired in 2009.
