F-15B Flight Tests Explore Supersonic Laminar Airflow

In partnership with Aerion Corporation of Reno, NV, NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center’s (now Armstrong) tested supersonic airflow over a small experimental airfoil design on its F-15B testbed aircraft during the spring of 2013. Testing the airfoil at actual supersonic speeds enabled engineers to capture data that will allow more precise refinement of supersonic natural laminar flow airfoil design.
