NASA G-III to Flight Test Shape-Changing Composite Flap

Показать описание

NASA Dryden (now Armstrong) Flight Research Center's Gulfstream III aerodynamics research test bed aircraft is undergoing modification to support the Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge (ACTE) project, a joint effort between NASA and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory.

Both of the G-III's conventional aluminum wing flaps were replaced with shape-changing composite flaps designed by FlexSys, Inc., that form continuous bendable surfaces. This 2-minute, 14-second video shows maneuvers flown to provide baseline data for comparison with data recorded after the flexible flaps were installed, a sample of a flexible flap being lab tested in a lab, and the G-III in NASA Dryden's Flight Loads Laboratory undergoing baseline structural loads testing.

One of the best NASA video productions I've seen. Well done!

I only see the traditional Fowler/Slotted flaps in this video...
