Langley Research Center
Langley Research Center (LaRC) Oldest of
NASA's field centers, LaRC is located in
Hampton, Virginia, and focuses primarily on aeronautical research. Established in
1917 by the
National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the Center currently devotes two-thirds of its programs to
aeronautics, and the rest to
space. LaRC researchers use more than 40 wind tunnels to study improved
aircraft and
spacecraft safety, performance, and efficiency.
