An F-16XL aircraft was used by the Dryden Flight Research Center (now Armstrong) at Edwards, CA, in a NASA-wide program to improve laminar airflow on aircraft flying at sustained supersonic speeds. It was the first program to look at laminar flow on swept wings at speeds faster than sound. Technological data from the program could assist in the development of future high-speed aircraft, including commercial transports.
