Project Description:
NASA's Intelligent Flight Control System (IFCS) project, utilizing NASA Dryden's highly modified F-15B, tail number 837, focuses on development of "self-learning" neural network software for aircraft flight control computers.

Such a revolutionary flight control system could enable future aircraft that sustain major system failures or combat damage to be flown to a safe, controlled landing. The current series began on Dec. 6, 2002.

The F-15B formerly flew in the Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles (ACTIVE) project at Dryden from 1995 through 1999.
