English: The F-15 ACTIVE is shown taking off from the main Edwards AFB runway in the first flight of the Phase III Inner Loop Thrust Vectoring (ILTV) research program. The aircraft is a much modified version of an F-15B two-seat trainer. The aircraft is being flown by Jim Smolka and Gerard Schkolnik.
ACTIVE employs thrust-vectoring of engine exhaust and an advanced control system to develop technology to improve cruise and maneuvering capabilities of future aircraft at both subsonic and supersonic speeds. The ACTIVE F-15B (Serial # 71-0290) incorporates engine exhaust nozzles developed by Pratt and Whitney which can vector up to 20 degrees in both pitch and yaw, along with close-coupled canards ahead of the wings, to improve performance and maneuvering ability. |
