On January 19, 1995, an X-31 experimental aircraft was making a routine test flight from the NASA Dryden Flight Research Centre when the chase pilot suddenly made a series of radio calls: "NASA One, We have an ejection!! We have an ejection!! The aircraft is descending over the North base area… I have a chute… The pilot’s out of the seat and the chute is good…"
Despite the loss of the first prototype, the X-31 program proved to be a successful collaboration between the United States and Germany.
In fact, the program was groundbreaking in more ways than one. The two only X-31 models ultimately carried out over 500 flights between 1990 and 1995, providing invaluable information for the design of next-generation highly maneuverable fighters.
