Title: Society of Flight Test Engineers, Annual Symposium, 16th, Seattle, WA, July 29-August 2, 1985, Proceedings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7036046

The present conference on advancements in flight testing methods encompasses topics in test technology development, noteworthy flight test results, the management of test flight programs, the current status of numerous flight test programs, and the state-of-the-art in data-gathering and test instrumentation systems. Attention is given to flight testing of the Tornado terrain-following radar system in bad weather, of high bypass turbofan engines, and of the ground effect behavior of a powered lift STOL aircraft during landing approach. Also noted are the management of software-intensive systems testing, the merits of customer vs. contractor flight testing, precise control surface position measurements for hysteresis and twist bending, an avionics digital data acquisition system, a portable airborne digital data system, inflight loads in existing transport aircraft, flight simulator testing, and flight flutter testing.
