Test version of the Fairchild Stratos Model 616 AERCAB
Fairchild-Stratos Western’s Model 616 - the most literal interpretation of the specification for “an aircraft within an aircraft” - undergoing windtunnel tests at NASA’s Langley Research Center. The wing was stowed by folding once at the midpoint of the semispan and hingeing at the wing root to fold against the tailboom assembly.
