The X-planes are a series of experimental United States aircraft and rockets, used to test and evaluate new technologies and aerodynamic concepts. They have an X designator within the US system of aircraft designations, which denotes the experimental research mission.
17 sie 2018 · The AAW project’s goal was to demonstrate improved aircraft roll control through aerodynamically induced wing twist on a full-scale high-performance aircraft at transonic and supersonic speeds.
17 sie 2018 · With landing gear and flaps down, NASA Dryden’s (now Armstrong’s) Active Aeroelastic Wing F/A-18A research aircraft, also known as X-53, rolled toward final approach to the Edwards Air Force Base runway at the end of a test flight in Edwards, California.
The Boeing X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW) is an experimental aircraft designed to test a cutting-edge wing technology concept. This technology allows the wings of an aircraft to flex during flight to improve aerodynamic performance.
The X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW) development program is a completed American research project that was undertaken jointly by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Boeing Phantom Works and NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, where the technology was flight tested on a modified McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet.
28 cze 2024 · NASA Armstrong, in cooperation with the AFRL and Boeing Phantom Works, researched a high-tech adaptation of the Wright brothers rudimentary "wing-warping" approach to aircraft flight control in the Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW), also known as X-53, flight research project.
23 kwi 2007 · In this paper, we examine the problem of aircraft-to-aircraft “wing rigging” variation to identify the major effects of changes in overall wing incidence and twist upon cruise aerodynamic performance …
