NASA F-15 Aircraft Test Model Wing for Commercial Aviation Fuel Savings

NASA F-15 Aircraft Test Model Wing for Commercial Aviation Fuel Savings

NASA’s Crossflow Attenuated Natural Laminar Flow (CATNLF) project aims to lower fuel costs for future commercial aircraft by testing a scale-model wing designed to improve laminar flow. The project flew the scale-model wing on the bottom of a NASA F-15 research aircraft during a series of flight tests at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
