Aerion Corporation’s test article used in the initial Supersonic Boundary Layer Transition flight test project in 2010 is shown attached to the Centerline Instrumented Pylon slung beneath NASA’s F-15B research aircraft. A second phase of flight tests with a newer airfoil test article more representative of a laminar-flow wing design for Aerion’s planned supersonic business aircraft was scheduled to be flown on NASA’s F-15B research test bed during the summer of 2012.July 13, 2010
