Final phase of C-17 drag reduction testing underway

Three fairings are placed near the leading edge of the wing at the engine pylons of a C-17 for phase four of C-17 Drag Reduction testing. The fairings are placed in areas where indications of airflow disturbance were identified during computer simulations.
