AFFTC General Test Support Fleet

Edwards AFB, CA

The general test support fleet includes both instrumented and production F-15, F-16, A-37, T-38, T-39, C-141, and other aircraft types. Many of these aircraft have been extensively modified with an airborne data system to collect avionic bus or sensor data. Several are configured as generic testbeds to support quick reaction instrumentation requirements. The AFFTC also operates several specialized pacer aircraft used to evaluate test aircraft airspeed instruments. Some aircraft are equipped with telemetry re-radiation capability, originally modified in support of B-2 and Cruise Missile programs, to retransmit and/or record airborne telemetry data.
