The big-wing RB-57D was a radical departure from the stubby low-aspect ration wings of traditional B-57 bombers. This vintage narrated progress report in color from the 1950s is a real gem. The method for obtaining wing flex data must be seen! Enjoy! While this film highlights the flight test work conducted at or near the Martin plant in Maryland, flight testing also involved Air Force resources elsewhere At the Airailimages Channel, we have a diverse and growing Playlist of flight test videos about fabulous Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave Desert: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjJEBtHWRTBpkM5MOMK-tUkTzj7X9W8l1 We have some other Navy flight test videos, including coverage of the R3Y-1 Tradewind postwar flying boat in our Movies in a Minute Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjJEBtHWRTBpkM5MOMK-tUkTzj7X9W8l1 Have you subscribed to the Airailimages Channel on YouTube?
