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.
17 sie 2018 · NASA F-18 tail number (TN) 853 (X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing) preparing for landing at Edwards Air Force Base in Edwards, California.
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.
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 McDonnell Douglas (later Boeing) X-36 Tailless Fighter Agility Research Aircraft is an American stealthy subscale prototype jet designed to fly without the traditional empennage found on most aircraft.
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.
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...
