About the F-15A "Reporter" in NACA Service
The McDonnell Douglas F-15A "Reporter" represents a unique chapter in the F-15 Eagle's history, serving with NACA (the predecessor to NASA) for advanced aeronautical research. While the F-15 Eagle is renowned as one of the most successful air superiority fighters ever built, select airframes were dedicated to research missions that advanced aviation technology.
These NACA/NASA F-15s were equipped with specialized instrumentation and sensors to gather flight test data, evaluate new technologies, and conduct aerodynamic research at high speeds and altitudes. The "Reporter" designation reflects the aircraft's mission to report critical flight data back to researchers. These research Eagles contributed to advancements in flight control systems, engine performance, and aerodynamic understanding that benefited both military and civilian aviation.
