C-17 Drag Reduction Testing

The first phase of C-17 Drag Reduction testing consisted of putting six orange finlets on the aft part of the fuselage. A C-17 on loan from Joint Base McChord-Lewis, Washington, is the test plane for the program. With three finlets on each side, test sorties were conducted to see how the C-17 performed with the modification. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kenji Thuloweit)
