A one-fifth scale model of a large portion of the Air Force B-1 swing-wing strategic bomber had been tested in transonic and supersonic wind tunnels at the Air Force Systems Command's Arnold Engineering Development Center, AFSC announced. The tests verified inputs to the computer control system that adjusted the B-1's double inlets for an adequate air supply to the engines during flight maneuvers. Test data also would be used to optimize the inlets' boundary-layer control. (AFSC Release OIP 196.73)
