Experiments have been conducted in water and wind tunnel facilities to investigate the effectiveness of using rotatable miniaturized forebody nose-boom strakes to manipulate and control fighter aircraft forebody vortices at moderate to high angles of attack to provide potential aerodynamic control power in yaw. Water tunnel tests including flow visualization and yaw moment measurements were conducted on several different models of the F-16 fighter. Wind tunnel force and moment tests investigated the effects of several nose-boom strake configurations on an isolated 1/8th-scale X-29A forebody model. The primary variables of interest were strake size, configuration and roll angle orientation on the nose-boom. Both experiments showed clearly that small nose-boom strakes can be very effective in controlling the forebody vortex flowfield. Different degrees of flow asymmetry can be obtained by rotating a single or a pair of small strakes located on the nose-boom. With large fixed forebody strakes, such as those on the X-29A configuration, the effectiveness of the nose-boom strakes is significantly reduced.
