2015年6月19日 · A comprehensive case study covering all aspects of the F-16XL saga from its early conceptual design—including wind tunnel and ground testing, computer simulations, and program advocacy—through construction of the two prototypes and their use in both the Air Force flight demonstration effort and NASA aeronautical research.

The AFTI/F-16 is a modified full-scale development ~~F-16A aircraft. Modifications included incorporation of an asynchronous operation, triplex digital flight control sys­ tem, which provided multiple in-flight-selectableflight contrJl laws, including six-degree-of-freedomdecoupled air­ craft motions. Twin canards were mounted from actuators in

The Advanced Fighter Technology Integration (AFTI) F-16 was a joint NASA-Air Force-Navy program to test possible future aircraft systems on a heavily modified F-16A. The AFTI F-16 phase I tests began following its arrival at Dryden on July 15, 1982.

Dryden's F-16XL-1 aircraft (tail number 849) testbed aircraft supported several flight research projects during the 1990s. The XL-1 aircraft was upgraded with a new Digital Flight Control System (DFCS) in 1997.

The F-16XL ship 1 aircraft was flown with a digital flight control system (DFLCS) for the first time in December 1997. The F-16XL has its origins in the early 1980s when the General Dynamics Corporation (Ft. Worth, Texas) (now Lockheed Martin …

2025年3月6日 · The F-16 Advanced Fighter Technology Integration (AFTI) program was a groundbreaking project jointly developed by the United States Air Force (USAF), the United States Navy (USN), and NASA. The program aimed to explore and validate cutting-edge aerodynamic, avionics, and flight control technologies by modifying an existing F-16 fighter jet.

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has a history of testing exotic aircraft. The F-16s versatility and adaptability made it an ideal platform for some of NASA's test programs. Consequently, NASA operates some of the most exotic F-16s around, including both F-16XL aircraft and the AFTI/F-16 technology demonstrator.
