Project: Eagle Aero Probes
The Eagle Aero Probes flew attached to the centerline instrumented pylon, or CLIP, underneath NASA’s F-15B research test bed aircraft. The primary objective of the flight series was to determine the feasibility of using the Eagle probes for air-to-air shockwave probing. Additional objectives included determining the durability and robustness of the probes in flight, their sensitivity to flight conditions, and the accuracy of the software.February 2, 2011NASA Photo / Carla Thomas
