Title
Paresev 1-B in Tow Flight
Full Description
The Paresev experimental aircraft. A normal flight was a takeoff on the Rogers
Dry Lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base and a circling flight path skirting the
lake edges to insure a landing on the lakebed in the event of a towline failure.
Release altitude was normally 10,000 to 13,000 feet.
Data was obtained on the glide part of the flight. By maintaining
simplicity during construction, it was possible to make control and
configuration changes overnight and in many instances, in minutes.
