Summary
Description X-31 Kiel Probe Close-up Showing Inside.jpg |
English:
A close-up photograph of the
Kiel air data probe
on the noseboom on the
X-31
aircraft shows the orifices used to collect air pressure measurements. Icing in the unheated Kiel probe on the first X-31 (Bu. No. 164584) caused that aircraft to crash. The aircraft obtained data that may apply to the design and development of highly-maneuverable aircraft of the future. Each has a three-axis
thrust-vectoring
system, coupled with advanced flight controls, to allow it to maneuver tightly at very high angles of attack.
