An 8-in.-square boundary-layer sensor panel has been developed for in-flight evaluation of skin-friction gages and other near-wall flow sensors on the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center F-15B/Flight Test Fixture (FTF). Instrumentation on the sensor panel includes a boundary-layer rake, temperature sensors, static pressure taps, and a Preston tube. Space is also available for skin-friction gages or other near-wall flow sensors. Pretest analysis of previous F-15B/FTF flight data has identified flight conditions suitable for evaluating skin-friction gages. At subsonic Mach numbers, the boundary layer over the sensor panel closely approximates the two-dimensional (2D), law-of-the-wall turbulent boundary layer, and skin-friction estimates from the Preston tube and the rake (using the Clauser plot method) can be used to evaluate skin-friction gages. At supersonic Mach numbers, the boundary layer over the sensor panel becomes complex, and other means of measuring skin friction are needed to evaluate the accuracy of new skin-friction gages. Results from the flight test of a new rubber-damped skin-friction gage confirm that at subsonic Mach numbers, nearly 2D, law-of-the-wall turbulent boundary layers exist over the sensor panel. Sensor panel data also show that this new skin-friction gage prototype does not work in flight.Bui, Trong T. and Pipitone, Brett J. and Krake, Keith L. and Richwine, Dave (Technical Monitor)Armstrong Flight Research CenterSKIN FRICTION; SENSORS; IN-FLIGHT MONITORING; WALL FLOW; FLIGHT TEST INSTRUMENTS; FRICTION MEASUREMENT; PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION; SUPERSONIC SPEED; TWO DIMENSIONAL BOUNDARY LAYER; PITOT TUBES; SPEED INDICATORS; STATIC PRESSURE; F-15 AIRCRAFT...
