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 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.
28 cze 2024 · Experimental aircraft, or X-planes, are built for a wide range of research purposes – technology or concept demonstrators, unmanned test missiles, and even as prototypes. Here is an overview of X-planes researched and tested at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
The X-53 was a modified F/A-18 fighter used for a joint Air Force, Boeing and NASA project called the Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW), which flew between 2002 and 2005.
