The F-15B is 63.7 feet long with a wingspan of 42.8 feet and a basic operating weight of 27,500 pounds. The maximum projected weight of the FTF-II, including all research systems is 500 lbs. Aircraft instrumention is limited to equipment used in support of the FTF-II instrumentation system.
Plans are underway for a separate aircraft instrumentation system in the future.
A video system has been installed capable of recording up to three channels of on-board video with transmission of one selectable channel to the ground. Two of these channels are dedicated for FTF-II experiments with the third channel dedicated to an aft seat connection for video chase support. Additional research systems will be installed as needed for specific flight experiments. The fixture is 107 in. Modular configuration allows the FTF-II to be modified to satisfy a variety of flight test requirements.
