In the photo at right, a unique, advanced type of javelin is undergoing "flight test." The javelin was designed to meet specifications laid down by the International Amateur Athletic Federation, but it has better stability than conventional javelins, according to college athletes who tested it. Its development incorporated aerodynamic design techniques and a composite material developed by NASA's Langley Research Center for aircraft and spacecraft.
