C-140 JetStar
This C-140 JetStar was flown by NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center,
Edwards, California, from 1964 to 1989 in a variety of projects applicable to civilian aircraft. Built by Lockheed, the aircraft-NASA 814-was used in a laminar flow study to help develop methods of designing more efficient aircraft wings. The JetStar was later used as a testbed to investigate acoustic characteristics of a series of subscale advanced design propellors which featured blades that curved rearward. The aircraft was also used as a support vehicle during the Space Shuttle Approach and Landing Tests at Dryden in 1977, and for a variety of general purpose airborne simulation studies related to general aviation aircraft. |
