| Description: |
This model of the Boeing A/FX (Advanced Attack/Fighter) Aircraft was photographed between test runs in NASA Langley Research Center's 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel. Testing was conducted to determine the effects of the jet exhaust on the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft afterbody. The A/FX program was a Navy effort to obtain a next-generation replacement for the A-6 and F/A-18. The A/FX program evolved into the current multi-service JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) program. |
