NASA has completed the first flight test of a scale-model wing designed to improve laminar flow, reducing drag and lowering fuel costs for future commercial aircraft. The flight took place on 29 ...

NASA completed the first flight of a new laminar-flow scale-model wing on an F-15B testbed that aims to cut drag and reduce fuel burn on future aircraft.

NASA has successfully flown its 40-inch CATNLF laminar-flow wing model aboard an F-15B at Armstrong Flight Research Center.
