Ship 4001 Prepares For Live Fire Tests


The stripped-down airframe of Raptor 4001 was placed in the live fire test range at the 46th Test Wing aircraft survivability research facility at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, where it will soon complete ballistic wing live fire testing. A 30mm high-explosive incendiary projectile, the type carried by MiG-29s and Su-27s, will be fired at the Raptor’s wing root to assess the airframe’s ability to withstand damage. The platform under the aircraft was built specifically for this test. Five J57 jet engines (structure in front of the F-22) will generate a 400-knot airflow over the wing while the airframe bears a three-g load to simulate forces encountered during a moderate climb.
