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 · 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.
1 lut 2009 · English: Boeing X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing demonstrator. A modified F/A-18A sporting a distinctive red, white and blue paint scheme is the test aircraft for the Active Aeroelasatic Wing (AAW) project at NASA's Dryden Research Center, Edwards, California.
The X-53A Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW) flight research project conducted by NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Boeing Phantom Works, researched a high-tech adaptation of the Wright Brothers rudimentary ‘wing-warping’ approach to aircraft flight control.
17 sie 2018 · Aircraft Modifications. The X-53 used wings from NASA’s retired F/A-18 TN 840 High-Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV).
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 Boeing X-53 was a technology demonstrator for the "Active Aerolastic wing"-program (AAW) and was based on the F/A-18 Hornet. The AAW was jointly undertaken by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Boeing Phantom Works and the Dryden Flight flight Research Center (DFRC), where a modified...
