XV-5A LIFT FAN FLIGHT RESEARCH AIRCRAFT

Abstract

The manufacture and acceptance testing of propulsion system was completed. Propulsion system support was expanded during the aircraft ground tests. Flight test program details and a revised program schedule were completed and submitted. Full scale wind tunnel test preparations are well underway with the necessary test hardware and instrumentation being manufactured. Static structural tests and ground resonance tests of the aircraft were completed. Numerous structural stress, and model test reports were completed and issued. Installation of all aircraft electrical and hydraulic components has been made in the simulator with approximately 30 hours operating time. Installation of systems is progressing on both aircraft with No. 1 aircraft 92% complete and No. 2 aircraft 94% complete.
