Topics presented include a real-time expert-aided trajectory estimator using multiple time, space, and position information sources and a unique on-aircraft positioning system, a range safety flight testing technique using an external camera tracking system, and a measurement system for production flight tests of new aircraft. Also presented are the AV-8B shipboard ski jump evaluation, the use of onboard data for takeoff performance determination, a flight test management and integration program, and a high speed motion analysis. Also addressed are downwash measurement at the horizontal tail, the equipment of a research aircraft with emphasis on meteorological experiments, the development and results of the AM-X high incidence trials, and some trends in telemetry for the flight test engineer.
