NASA’s new birds
NASA received two F-15’s from the Oregon Air National Guard at Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, CA. The Eagles will support NASA’s flight research fleet. #f15 #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
F-15 ACTIVE
Here is the F-15 Advanced Controls Technology for Integrated Vehicles (ACTIVE), the first pre-production F-15B in 1999. The Canards were repurposed horizontal stabilators from an F/A-18 aircraft which provided a significant increase in pitch authority and overall maneuverability. #f15 #f15active #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
More NASA testing
Check out the AST (Advanced Supersonic Technology) Propulsion Noise Research test on the F-15 model with nacelle in the 40x80ft Subsonic Wind Tunnel at Ames Research Center, Mt View, CA in 1973. #f15 #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
Time to climb!
Love an unrestricted climb! #f15 #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
F-15 ACTIVE
Check out the F-15 ACTIVE in flight above the Mojave desert in 1998. The large forward canards are actually the tail surfaces from an F-18. #f15 #f15active #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
