“…Ship 281 can be identified by its wingtips, which are not rounded or raked as ship 287's and the production F-15's are. NASA and the USAF had planned a comprehensive flight/ ground test facility correlation program on the F-15 inlet and nozzle, using the F-15 #2 and F100 engine (Webb and Nugent, 1982 (Biesiadny et al, 1978). Figure 4 shows the engine installed in the PSL facility.…”

The value of flight research in developing and evaluating gas turbine engines is high. NASA Dryden Flight Research Center has been conducting flight research on propulsion systems for many years. The F100 engine has been tested in the NASA F-15 research airplane in the last three decades. One engine in particular, S/N P680063, has been used for the entire program and has been flown in many pioneering propulsion flight research activities. Included are detailed flight-to-ground facility tests; tests of the first production digital engine control system, the first active stall margin control system, the first performance-seeking control system; and the first use of computer-controlled engine thrust for emergency flight control. The flight research has been supplemented with altitude facility tests at key times. This paper presents a review of the tests of engine P680063, the F-15 airplanes in which it flew, and the role of the flight test in maturing propulsion technology.

Wind tunnels have wide-ranging functionality, including many applications beyond aeronautics, and historically have been the major source of information for technological aerodynamics/aeronautical applications. There are a myriad of scaling issues/differences from flight to wind tunnel, and their study and impacts are uneven and a function of the particular type of extant flow phenomena. Typically, the most serious discrepancies are associated with flow separation. The tremendous ongoing increases in numerical simulation capability are changing and in many aspects have changed the function of the wind tunnel from a (scaled) “predictor” to a source of computational calibration/validation information with the computation then utilized as the flight prediction/scaling tool. Numerical simulations can increasingly include the influences of the various scaling issues. This wind tunnel role change has been occurring for decades as computational capability improves in all aspects. Additional issues driving this trend are the increasing cost (and time) disparity between physical experiments and computations, and increasingly stringent accuracy requirements.

NASA conducted a multldlsclpllnary fllght research program on the F-15 alrplane. The program began ln 1976 when two preproductlon alrplanes were obtalned from the U.S. Alr Force. MaJor proJects lnvolved stablllty and control, handllng qualltles, propulslon, aerodynamlcs, propulslon controls, and lntegrated propulslonfllght controls. Several government agencles and aerospace contractors were lnvolv~d. In excess of 330 fllghts were flown, and over 85 papers and reports were publlshed. ThlS document descrlbes the overall program, the proJects, and the key results. The F-15 was demonstrated to be an excellent fllght research vehlcle, produclng hlgh-quallty results.
