  Chase plane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chase plane is an aircraft that "chases" another aircraft during test flights.
For many years the best way to ensure the safety of an experimental aircraft was to fly alongside it and observe the flight.
In the early days of USAF testing, the chase aircraft were manned by test pilots just like the experimental planes, providing a common language and bond between test pilot and observer.

 NATIONAL AVIATION REPORTING CENTER ON ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA
Figure 1 is a photograph of the Mooney 201 chase plane taken by Williams with his calibrated cockpit camera during the flight.
During this turn observers in both aircraft observed, and the photographer in the chase plane photographed the UAP seen in Figure 3.
Assuming that the chase plane was beginning a left-hand bank away from the sailplane when the photograph was taken the camera's line of sight would probably have been through the lower, planar part of the window.

 EAA Flight Advisor
I try to take the prospective pilot up for a flight demonstrating how to handle emergencies in the plane, differences between a canard aircraft and others the pilot may have flown, as well as giving them a feel for what it will be like to pilot their own canard.
Flying chase also gives me the chance to experience one of the happiest moments in the builder's life: the safe conclusion of the first flight.
What I never planned on was that the chase plane might be the one with the problems.

 Fly Northern Ireland - Microlight Flying lessons & gift vouchers for special occasions
To his credit, however, it was this chase plane pilot who suggested that Numan overfly Greenland rather than skirt around the coast and fight possible heavy turbulence resulting from winds swirling around the mountains and fjords.
The chase plane pilot had awakened Numan early that morning to show him an optimistic weather forecast.
After a heated argument the chase plane pilot ended up on his back, at that point, the remainder of the flight was in great jeopardy.

A tiny plane with wings that seemed to be propped up on long poles dropped lightly onto the runway and taxied towards the terminal, its propeller still blurring.
It was no skin off his nose, Chase thought, but he couldn’t help noticing how tired she looked when she finally hauled her case up to the plane.
The wings were set high on the body of the plane, and you had to climb in underneath by setting your foot on the strut and hauling yourself up.

 On a Winged Horse and a Prayer, SeaWiFS Launches
This plane was OSC's unique launch platform for the Pegasus XL rocket, and today, August 1, 1997, was finally launch day for SeaWiFS (Sea Wide Field Sensor), the sole sensor on the SeaStar satellite (now called OrbView-2).
On the first pass through the launch box, the launch officer on the plane reported that winds and other conditions were fine ("nominal" in NASA language).
Launch control continued to announce key events as the glow of the first stage, still visible on the chase plane video, faded in the distance: stage 1 burnout and the glow went away; stage 1/2 separation followed immediately by stage 2 ignition and a faint glow returned to the video screen.

I've also noticed that the default view in chase plane mode has changed to being very far away, and I have to zoom in so it is as close as it was originally.
As I circle the plane, I see inside the part of the plane that is closest.
If I circle to the back of the plane looking toward the front, It looks like the plane was made of rubber and was stretched from nose to tail.

 Researchers chase goal of nonhijackable plane | Tech News on ZDNet   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Since Sept. 11, 2001, the idea that civilian planes can be used as weapons has taken hold globally, spawning increased security measures in airports around the world.
Among the nonhijackable plane's features: computer systems designed to spot suspicious passenger behavior, and a collision-avoidance system that will correct the plane's trajectory to prevent it from being steered into a building or mountain.
The researchers are also investigating the possibility--although they say it is probably some 15 years away--of developing an on-board computer that could guide the plane automatically to the nearest airport, in the event of a hijack.

 The Boeing Company's Canadair CL-13 Sabre Mk.5 N8686F  by Jennings Heilig (Artwork, No Scale)
Delivered to Boeing in late 1962 and appropriately registered N8686F, the aircraft was modified to act as a chase, calibration, and photography platform.
Boeing replaced this aircraft with another Mk.5 (upgraded with Mk.6 wings) in 1974, and it remained in use until the early 1990s.
Boeing's chase, calibration, and photo work is now handled by another vintage warbird, a T-33A.

As chase plane increases distance between itself and emitter aircraft, relative ratio of sulfuric acid to soot particles increases.
As chase plane increases distance between itself and emitter aircraft to a point where it is no longer directly in the exhaust plume but rather flying in air that contains older but relatively recent emissions, an even larger fraction of sulfuric acid particles are observed.

 Dan Checkoway's RV-7 Project - July 23, 2005
I'm always eager to fly chase -- I really enjoy being part of first flights and helping to ensure they go off without a hitch.
As chase plane, my role is basically just to visually monitor the plane, cross reference airspeeds, and help the pilot out if anything funky arises.
I hang back in an aft and low position, staying close enough to see the plane but not being so close as to startle or distract the pilot.

 The Tupolev Tu-144 Supersonic Airliner @ Aviation.y2u.co.uk   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Western media nicknamed the plane Concordski (sometimes Konkordski), sounding like a Russian surname yet still very close to Concorde, to which Tu-144 was visually similar.
Trying to pull out of the subsequent dive, the plane broke up and crashed, destroying 15 houses and killing all six on board and eight on the ground.
A popular theory is that the Tu-144 was forced to avoid a French Mirage chase plane.

 [No title]
The Soviet map shows a small, subdued jog around the Sakhalinsk air base under the plane's flight path, a deviation which may be merely due to "slant range" error associated with the overhead passage of the target (there is no reference in the Russian pilot's tapes to any course change at this point).
His reconstruction attributed the initial confusion to the assumption that the approaching plane was merely provoking Soviet radars and would turn away short of the border.
The Navy planes were observed to make several "bombing runs" on one of the islands, then fly off with impunity.

But we had a backup in which we had installed an adjustable tail plane in which we could use that, you might say, as an emergency device in which it would give the pilot longitudinal control.
Yeager: When we got the airplane up to 94 percent of the speed of sound and I'm sitting out there and I decided to turn the airplane I pulled back on the control cock, nothing happened, the airplane just went the way it was headed.
And so I immediately shut off the rocket motor and called Dick Frost on the radio, who was flying the chase plane, and asked him if he could see any fire—that my fire warning light had come on.

Needless to say, we were all delighted at having completed the longest leg over water, but later in the evening I asked the chase plane pilot about the clouds.
Needless to say, at that point, the remainder of the flight was in great jeopardy since neither pilot wished to continue flying with the other.

When the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-114) returns to flight, it will have a special escort, but the pair of NASA WB-57 chase jets won't just be along for the ride.
Each system had to be mounted in the nosecone of the chase planes, using a large gimbal, a stabilizing anchor to keep the cameras focused on the Shuttle, even if turbulence caused the plane to dip or drift.
Managed by JSC, the WB-57s are former U.S. Air Force planes designed to study weather conditions at high altitudes.
