opportunities for extended learning experiences. The chartindicates these subject areas by activity title. In addition,many of the student activities encourage student problemsolvingand cooperative learning. The length of timeinvolved for each activity varies according to its degree ofdifficulty and the development level of the students.Finally, the guide concludes with a glossary of terms,suggested reading list, NASA educational resourcesincluding electronic resources, and an evaluationquestionnaire. We would appreciate your assistance inimproving this guide in future editions by completing thequestionnaire and making suggestions for changes andadditions.A Note on MeasurementIn developing this guide, metric units of measurement wereemployed. In a number of instances, English units are usedor shown along with metric units because of the standardpractices in the aviation community, such as altimetersdisplaying feet instead of meters.2High Performance Learning Activities in Mathematics, Science and TechnologyEG-2003-01-001-DFRC
F-15 ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated VEhicles)Research Program History and TechnologyFigure 1-1F-15 ACTIVEThis highly modified F-15 fighter was just one of the aircraft used by NASA to explore the extremelimits of aerospace technology. The aircraft was built in 1972, and modified for the U.S. Air Force'sShort Takeoff and Landing Maneuvering Technology Demonstrator (STOL/MTD) flight researchprogram which lasted from the mid-1980s until 1991. Beginning in 1993 it was involved in a NASA,U.S. Air Force, and private industry flight research program called Advanced Control Technology forIntegrated Vehicles (ACTIVE). The F-15 ACTIVE program concluded in 1999. Since then the aircrafthas been used as a testbed for "intelligent flight control systems" that enable a pilot to maintain controland safely land an aircraft that has suffered a major systems failure or combat damage.History and Technical DiscussionPilots can maneuver an airplane about each ofits three axes, producing motions called pitch,roll, and yaw (figure 1-2). Pilots steer theairplane’s flight path as desired by controllingpitch, roll, and yaw with a control wheel(or stick) and foot pedals located in thecockpit. These cockpit controls are in turnconnected to movable panels, called flightcontrol surfaces, attached to the airplane’sstructure. These surfaces are named theelevator, ailerons, and rudder (figure 1-3).The elevator produces pitch up or down whenthe pilot moves the control stick backward orforward. Ailerons cause the airplane to rollright or left corresponding to right or leftmovement of the control stick. The rudderproduces right or left yaw corresponding toright or left rudder pedal movement.A recent flight control design incorporated inthe F-15 ACTIVE (figure 1-1) is the use ofthrust vectoring to also produce pitch, roll,and yaw.
