Aircraft stand for measuring thrust in 3 dimensions for vector thrust aircraft. Part of joint effort with NASA, it failed to generate good results and got mothballed.

It had insufficient customers to pay to maintain it. The results were never a problem. Mothballed and ready to use for a paying customer.
