NASA is directing research to develop technology for a |
|
high-speed civil transport. Supersonic laminar flow |
|
control has been identified as a program element, since |
|
it offers significant drag-reduction benefits and is one |
|
of the more promising technologies for producing an |
|
economically viable aircraft design. NASA is using two |
|
prototype F-16XL aircraft to research supersonic laminar |
|
flow control. The F-16XL planform is similar to design |
|
planforms of high-speed civil transports. The planform |
|
makes the aircraft ideally suited for developing |
|
technology pertinent to high-speed transports. The |
|
supersonic laminar flow control research programs for |
|
both aircraft are described. Some general results of the |
|
ship-1 program demonstrate that significant laminar flow |
|
was obtained using laminar flow control on a highly swept |
|
wing at supersonic speeds. |
