The F-18 HARV features a midwing configuration with a wing-root leading-edge extension that extends from the forward portion of the fuselage and blends into the wing. The F-18 HARV carries no stores or missiles and is highly instrumented for research purposes. The wingtip launching rails and missiles were replaced with specially designed camera pods and, Estimation of the longitudinal and lateral-directional aerodynamic parameters from flight data for the NASA F /A- 18 HARV This progress report presents the results of an investigation focused on parameter identification for the NASA F /A- 18 HARV . This aircraft was used in the high alpha research program at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center.

f Eslimation of the Longitudinal and Lateral-Directional Aerodynamic Parameters from Flight Data for the NASA F /A- 18 HARV NASA Grant NCC 2-759 submitted by Marcello R. Napolitano, Assistant Professor G-60 Engineering Sciences Building Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering West Virginia University Morgantown, WV 26506/6106, The F – 18 HARV has five pairs of aerodynamic control surfaces. These include the stabilators, rudders, ailerons, leading-edge flaps, and trailing-edge flaps. The twin vertical stabilizers, with trailing-edge rudders, are canted outboard at approximately 20 degrees from the vertical. Pitch control is provided by the collective operation of the …
ground-based models of the F-18 HARV with the TVCS installed. Two aerodynamic interaction tests were performed at the NASA Langley Research Center. The first test was conducted in the Full-Scale Facility 30- by 60-ft wind tunnel. The test characterized the aerodynamic interaction effects on a full-configuration, 16 percent–scale F/A-18 model that were caused by vectoring the exhaust plume at low.
