38 CHAPTER 2 Maturity and Pride, 1941–1957 FIGURE 2-23. A McDonnell F-101 was flown at Langley in 1956 for investigations of sonic boom phenomena. The project produced data used today in the United States sonic boom database. The airplane carries a large NACA tail band as well as Air Force markings. (EL-2002-00289) FIGURE 2-24. In 1957, Langley conducted flight tests of a Grumman F-11F-1 to obtain data for correlation with wind-tunnel and theoretical results obtained on NACA aerodynamicist Richard Whitcomb’s area rule. The NACA tail band lacked the gold color typically carried by other research aircraft. (NACA LAL 57-2253)
