The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Armstrong Flight Research Center (Edwards, California) completed a series of research flights to better understand the challenges of aircraft wake surfing using civilian airplanes and commercial avionics. The research flights sought to demonstrate significant fuel savings by a pair of business jets engaged in automated wake surfing using commercial off-the-shelf avionics to the fullest extent possible, including a 1090-MHz Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) data link. A NASA Gulfstream C-20A airplane (Gulfstream Aerospace, Savannah, Georgia) was flown as the trail airplane within the wake of a NASA Gulfstream III (G-III) airplane. This paper presents a summary of the fuel savings measured during those flights.
