Summary[edit]

Description

English: Here is another view of the vertical tail loads testing on a Navy F/A-18E that concluded in May, wrapping up the third phase of research at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. The first two phases included loads calibration testing focused on the aircraft’s horizontal tails and wings. The aircraft is from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) in Patuxent River, Maryland. NAVAIR retired its previous loads test aircraft and NASA Armstrong staff are assisting to prepare the new aircraft for its role to help safely manage flight maneuvers and determine how the F/A-18E fleet will perform if proposed upgrades are incorporated.
