High Alpha Research Vehicle
The High Alpha Research Vehicle was a modified F-A-18 Hornet used by NASA in a 3-phase program investigating controlled flight at high angles of attack using thrust vectoring modifications to the flight controls and with actuated forebody strakes. The program lasted from April 1987 to September 1996. NASA reported that in one phase of the project Dryden Flight Research Center research pilots Bill Dana and Ed Schneider completed the envelope expansion flights in February 1992.

The F-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle was used to validate computer
codes and wind tunnel research about airflow phenomena at high angles
of attack and is expected to lead to better 7
