Abstract:

Designs and release of drawings to manufacturing for fabrication of parts is progressing. Weight Control effort has been maintained, and changes in the target weight are fluctuating with the release of detail design and due to many adjustments resulting from subcontracted systems and changes authorized by Cockpit Mockup Inspection. All changes resulting from Cockpit Mockup Inspection are presently being packaged for formal submittal to BuWeps. Reduction of wind tunnel data from the 15 scale, 17 scale, and ground effects models progressed. Test preparations for continued wind tunnel model tests were made.
