The Lockheed Martin X-56 is an American modular unmanned aerial vehicle that is being designed to explore High-Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) flight technologies for use in future military unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
23 Αυγ 2023 · The X-56 Multi-Utility Technology Testbed (MUTT) undergoes ground vibration tests in Armstrong's Flight Loads Laboratory. The X-56A flies over the desert near NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center, Edwards, California.
The X-56A MUTT is unique among these aircraft as a tailless flying wing design, significantly different than nearly all other aircraft that have been addressed previously. The low-pitch inertia and high-aspect-ratio of flying wings tends to cause aircraft rigid-body flight modes and flexible modes to occur within the same
23 Ιαν 2014 · The modular X-56A system includes two center bodies, a set of stiff wings, three sets of flexible wings, a ground control station, and a transportation trailer. The X-56A has easily removed wings and is convertible to other wing configurations, such as a joined-wing planform or a wing-tail configuration.
X-56 Program Background •The X-56A was developed by the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to explore actively controlling flutter. • X-56A • Lockheed Martin Skunkworks designed and built two centerbodies, four sets of wings, and the ground control station. • Became a partnership between AFRL, Lockheed Martin (LM), and NASA to
11 Δεκ 2019 · The X-56A remotely piloted aircraft begins a research mission from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in the skies above Edwards Air Force Base, California. The aircraft has lightweight and flexible wings and a system which suppressed a potentially destructive vibration called flutter.
The X-56A will test to the edge of the flight envelope in an effort to mature technologies that will lead to more slender, lightweight, high-aspect-ratio wings, resulting in better aircraft performance.
