Provides an introduction to the basic flight testing methods
employed on general aviation aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles
Introduction to Flight Testing provides a concise introduction to
the basic flight testing methods employed on general aviation
aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles for courses in aeronautical
engineering. There is particular emphasis on the use of modern
on-board instruments and inexpensive, off-the-shelf portable
devices that make flight testing accessible to nearly any student.
This text presents a clear articulation of standard methods for
measuring aircraft performance characteristics. Topics covered
include aircraft and instruments, digital data acquisition
techniques, flight test planning, the standard atmosphere,
uncertainty analysis, level flight performance, airspeed
calibration, stall, climb and glide, take-off and landing, level
turn, static and dynamic longitudinal stability,
lateral-directional stability, and flight testing of unmanned
aircraft systems. Unique to this book is a detailed discussion of
digital data acquisition (DAQ) techniques, which are an integral
part of modern flight test programs. This treatment includes
discussion of the analog-to-digital conversion, sample rate,
aliasing, and filtering. These critical details provide the flight
test engineer with the insight needed to understand the
capabilities and limitations of digital DAQ. Key features: Provides
an introduction to the basic flight testing methods and
instrumentation employed on general aviation aircraft and unmanned
aerial vehicles. Includes examples of flight testing on general
aviation aircraft such as Cirrus, Diamond, and Cessna aircraft,
along with unmanned aircraft vehicles. Suitable for courses on
Aircraft Flight Test Engineering. Introduction to Flight Testing
provides resources and guidance for practitioners in the
rapidly-developing field of drone performance flight test and the
general aviation flight test community.
