Title
Republic F-84F on the Ramp at Moffett Field
Full Description
The Republic F84F Thunderjet fighter-bomber used by the United
States Air Force was one of several high speed aircraft involved in
flight research at the NACA Ames Aeronautical Laboratory (now, Ames
Research Center) at Moffett Field, California.
Instruments inside the aircraft record large quantities of data on
its aerodynamic performance as it is flown by a NACA scientist-pilot
through a carefully planned research program. Later this data will
be anyalyzed and interpreted by NACA scientists and reports based on
their findings will provide valuable information for designers of
future aircraft. NACA (now, NASA) is the independent federal
government agency responsible for research into the problems
associated with flight.
