Dryden was a prominent aeronautical engineer for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), NASA’s predecessor. He also was key to transforming the core of the new agency, ensuring that NASA would become a worldwide leader in air and space exploration. For those at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California, where the center was named after him for more than 25 years and the Hugh L. Dryden Aeronautical Test Range carries his name, he is remembered on what would have been his 120th birthday. Dryden is perhaps best known at the center for his support of the X-15 rocket program that included 199 missions and his advocacy for flight research to “separate the real from the imagined” between theory and the reality of flight.
