The High Alpha Research Vehicle was a modified American McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet used by NASA in a three-phase program investigating controlled flight at high alpha (angle of attack) using thrust vectoring, modifications to the flight controls, and with actuated forebody strakes. The program lasted from April 1987 to September 1996.[1][2]

NASA reported that in one phase of the project, Armstrong Flight Research Center "research pilots William H. "Bill" Dana and Ed Schneider completed the envelope expansion flights in February 1992. Demonstrated capabilities included stable flight at approximately 70 degrees angle of attack (previous maximum was 55 degrees) and rolling at high rates at 65 degrees angle of attack. Controlled rolling would have been nearly impossible above 35 degrees without vectoring."[3] Performance figures were not listed for other phases.
The aircraft is now on display at the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton, Virginia.[4]

Le High Alpha Research Vehicle, signifiant « véhicule de recherche sur les angles d'incidence élevés » — « alpha » (« α {\displaystyle \alpha } ») étant en aéronautique la lettre attribuée à la mesure d'un angle d'incidence —, était un chasseur américain McDonnell Douglas F-18 Hornet modifié, utilisé par l'Agence aéronautique et spatiale américaine (NASA) au cours d'un programme en trois phases[1] visant à étudier les caractéristiques du vol contrôlé à de forts angles d'incidence, utilisant la vectorisation de la poussée, des commandes de vol modifiées et des apex frontaux motorisés.[it] High Alpha Research Vehicle
L'High Alpha Research Vehicle, era un velivolo basato sull'F/A-18 Hornet che venne impiegato dalla NASA nel corso del programma HARV, il cui fine era quello di sperimentare nuove tecnologie, quali ugelli direzionali, ed estensioni del profilo alare, di modo che fosse possibile pilotare in sicurezza anche un velivolo spinto ad operare ad elevati angoli d'attacco. Il programma, che incominciò nell'aprile del 1987, terminò nel settembre 1996.[1][2][ru] McDonnell Douglas F-18 HARV
F-18 HARV (High Angle-of-Attack (Alpha) Research Vehicle) — исследовательский истребитель NASA. Модификация истребителя F/A-18 Hornet. Программа была направлена на изучение поведения истребителя на больших углах атаки, от 65 до 70 градусов. Программа продлилась с апреля 1987 года до 1996.
