SPINAL TAP, Test Management Project, USAF Test Pilot School
The test management project SPINAL TAP, short for Science Project in Aircraft Laboratory, Tufted Aircraft Panels, began last December hoping to investigate the phenomenon with flow visibility on a tufted vertical tail. Two sorties were videotaped from a C-12 chase aircraft, allowing the team to review data and visually identify how the tail of the aircraft responded during the various airspeeds and aircraft configurations.
