请教，这两架虫子是搞啥业务的？？

以前有个虫子是搞念力的，还有个自主降落的，貌似都是这个涂装

F-18 Mission Support Aircraft

Four F-18 Hornet aircraft are being flown by NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif., for research support and pilot proficiency.

The aircraft were obtained from the U.S. Navy between 1984 and 1991. Two have a two-seat cockpit while the others are single-seat aircraft.

NASA research support aircraft are commonly called chase planes and fill the role of escort aircraft during research missions.

Chase pilots are in constant radio contact with research pilots and serve as an "extra set of eyes" to help maintain total flight safety during specific tests and maneuvers. They monitor certain events for the research pilot and are an important safety feature on all research missions.

Chase aircraft also are used as camera platforms for research missions that must be photographed or videotaped. Pictorial coverage - photos, motion pictures and videotape - is used extensively by aeronautical engineers to monitor and verify various aspects of the research project.

They are configured to transmit live video pictures from the air back to Dryden so engineers can visually monitor the mission as it is being flown. This feature greatly enhances flight safety.

The F-18 fleet also is used by Dryden research pilots for routine flight training required by all NASA pilots.

Project
Description: The Active Aeroelastic Wing project at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center is a two-phase flight research program that is investigating the potential of aerodynamically twisting flexible wings to improve roll maneuverability of high-performance aircraft at transonic and supersonic speeds. Traditional control surfaces such as ailerons and leading-edge flaps are used as active trim tabs to aerodynamically induce the twist. From flight test and simulation data, the program is developing structural modeling techniques and tools to help design lighter, more flexible high aspect-ratio wings for future high-performance aircraft, which could translate to more economical operation or greater payload capability.

The program uses a modified F/A-18A Hornet as its testbed aircraft, with wings that were modified to the flexibility of the original pre-production F-18 wing. Other aircraft modifications include a new actuator to operate the outboard portion of a divided leading edge flap over a greater range and rate, and a research flight control system to host the aeroelastic wing control laws.

AAW flight tests began in November, 2002 with checkout and parameter-identification flights. Based on data obtained during 50 research flights over a five-month period, new AAW flight control software was then developed over the following year. A second series of research flights began in late 2004 evaluated the AAW concept in a real-world flight environment, using the newly created control laws in the aircaft's research flight control computer. About 45 research missions were flown over a four-month period in the second phase of flight testing that concluded in March, 2005. Extensive analysis of data acquired during the project is continuing at NASA Dryden.

The Active Aeroelastic Wing Program is jointly funded and managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, with Boeing's Phantom Works as prime contractor for wing modifications and flight control software development. The F/A-18A aircraft was provided by the Naval Aviation Systems Test Team and modified for its research role by NASA Dryden technicians.

太奢侈了。。。盗撮也要上军机。。。虫子很便宜么？？

记得以前拍投弹测试，还被砸过，光记得有F18，忘了是投弹的，还是挨砸的了

4# danaan

就是这个，图上是843和845，还有852，最后一架没看清楚

突然有个想法，NASA的那一堆堆验证机的来历。。。

军方抽调的现役战机？

厂家白送的目的打小广告？

NASA自己钱多烧得慌买的新机或者是二手货？？

光记得有批2手F14送到测试中队了，还有当年烂在手里的两架伊朗猫，也给NASA测试去了

好像是把身后的A4给敲掉了。。。。

米帝强大。。。这个科研体系也是我们山寨的对象呀。。军机好了。。飞新技术科目都不错的。。。

苏联的中央流体试验室也很NB

验证机吧

还木人能彻底解答8L的问题么？？

光记得有不好卖的，二手的，还有自己测试不了的……X15

这虫子是不是改装过，从这个角度看象F15

挂幌子 发表于 2009-10-22 11:35
那些是不是向厂家投标订购的，厂家为图省事用自己熟练的机型改出来的？实在改不出来的就拼，拼不出来的造……

NASA这类机机多了，用途也很多，什么拍照，检测，训练宇航员都有···
还有M - 113·····

找到这段视频，是F-18发个弹打中上面的A-4。
