Tests have been made to determine the flight characteristics of an F-86F airplane equipped with a leading-edge area-suction boundary-layer-control system, and to investigate the possible operational limitations imposed on a fighter-type airplane by such an installation. The results of the flight tests are compared with those of full-scale wind-tunnel tests of a similar installation on a model incorporating F-86 wing panels. The basic porous-area distribution tested extended the full length of the wing leading edge. Suction power was provided by a modified turbosupercharger which was driven by air bled from the compressor of the airplane's jet engine.

This AGARDograph contains eight papers presented at the 24th AGARD Flight Mechanics Panel Meeting, Ames Research Center, California, USA, in February 1964. Three major aspects of simulation are dealt with. First, the electro-mechanical-optical systems forming the simulation hardware and the associated computing facilities; second, examples of simulation research applied to aircraft problems; and, third, examples of simulation research applied to spacecraft problems. A discussion of the simulation research problem from a human engineering standpoint precedes the hardware, aircraft and spacecraft sections. (Author).

The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. The Congressional Record began publication in 1873. Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
