Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., Dec. 07, 1998 -- Boeing installed a 26-foot long
sensor wing on the fuselage of its F-22 Flying Test Bed. The wing gives Boeing the capability to test and integrate F-22 avionics in parallel with airframe testing currently under way at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., and long before avionics testing occurs on board F-22 aircraft. Avionics flight tests will begin in early 1999.
sourceet à propos du F-22 Flying Test Bed
Citation:
The F-22 Flying Test Bed (FTB) is a
modified Boeing 757 that is being used to flight-test the highly advanced integrated avionics developed for the F-22 Raptor...The test avionics are operated from a
simulated F-22 cockpit installed in the test bed cabin. The cockpit has primary and secondary F-22 displays, as well as a throttle and stick. There is room on the aircraft for up to
30 software engineers and technicians ...Communication, navigation and identification (CNI) sensors were mounted directly on the sensor wing, which is designed to simulate the sensor positioning found on the F-22's wings....
