Guest Speaker:
Tom Morgenfeld
X-35 Test Pilot
 Abstract
Mr. Morgenfeld was the Chief Test Pilot on the X-35 airplane from the start of the Joint Strike Fighter program
through its final flight and contract award. He started with the Advanced Tactical Fighter program as the pilot for the second YF-22A prototype. With Lockheed winning the JSF program, Mr. Morgenfeld performed the first flight on the X-35 and tested all three versions of the airplane. He will recap the development of the X-35 prototype airplanes and will share many of his X-35 test experiences.
Background
Thomas A. Morgenfeld, a 1965 graduate of the United States Naval Academy. He had two fleet tours flying the F-8 Crusader where he flew 90 combat missions and amassed over 500 carrier landings. Between those tours he attended the United States Naval Postgraduate School where he earned his MS degree in aeronautical engineering. In 1975 he attended the Empire Test Pilots’ School in England, winning the McKenna Trophy as top student in his class. In 1976 Tom was ordered to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron FOUR where he participated in several classified test programs in addition to serving as the F-18 Project Pilot. In 1979 Tom went onto USAF exchange duty with the 4477th Test and Evaluation Flight where he was responsible for all
USN involvement with the then top secret flying of MiG airplanes for exploitation purposes. At the end of that
tour, he left active duty but went on to complete a 26-year naval career.
