Book excerpt: Flight Test Instrumentation is a collection of papers presented at the Third International Symposium on Flight Test Instrumentation held in 1964 under the auspices of the Department of Flight of the College of Aeronautics in Cranfield, UK. The symposium provided a forum for discussing advances in flight test instrumentation and covered topics ranging from pre-detection recording in the megacycle range to some problems and uses of fuel flow measurements in supersonic aircraft. This volume is comprised of 14 chapters and begins by describing angle of attack and angle of sideslip measurements using fully de-iced non-movable differential pressure-sensing heads and low-range capacitive pressure transducers. The next chapter explores errors in stability derivative measurements that can occur due to shortcomings in instrumentation design, as well as the implications of such errors for the development of a modern supersonic aeroplane. The application of the vector plotting technique to flight flutter testing of the Hawker Siddeley Trident is then considered. Subsequent chapters focus on the use of high-accuracy instrumentation techniques for non-steady flight measurements; strain gauging for transient heating cases; and free-flight model techniques for aerodynamic research at supersonic and hypersonic speeds. This book will be a useful resource for students, practitioners, and officials of aeronautics.

Book excerpt: Flight Testing, Volume IV: Instrumentation Systems serves as a guide to flight test instrumentation systems for establishing flight test programs. This book provides aircraft flight testers with the information required to appreciate the capabilities and limitations of the instrumentation techniques, indicating some of the many alternatives possible in flight instrumentation. It considers the systems concept in planning flight test instrumentation and functional organization of the component parts of an instrumentation system, followed by a discussion of the components of a flight data acquisition and reduction system that are organized into functional categories. Within these categories, a comparison is made between the various data collection systems and data reducing systems. The similarities, advantages, and limitations of each type of system component and significance of the fundamental properties of each device are also noted in this volume. This compilation is written primarily for persons not well-trained in electronics with special emphasis toward promoting the systems point of view in considering the problems of measurement in flight.

This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to digital measurement processes on aircraft is provided. Flight test instrumentation systems are rapidly evolving from analog-intensive to digital intensive systems, including the use of onboard digital computers. The topics include measurements that are digital in origin, as well as sampling, encoding, transmitting, and storing data. Particular emphasis is placed on modern avionic data bus architectures and what to be aware of when extracting data from them. Examples of data extraction techniques are given. Tradeoffs between digital logic families, trends in digital development, and design testing techniques are discussed. An introduction to digital filtering is also covered. Bever, Glenn A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of any test is to collect data which are then used to evaluate the article being tested. Instrumentation is the term applied to the equipment used to collect these data. Flight test programs invariably represent a significant investment of resources, and therefore considerable care must be devoted to identifying the specific requirements for the flight test and to assure that the data systems will yield the required information. The first step towards the flight test instrumentation system then is a clear statement of the objectives of the flight test programs. These objectives are drawn up by those who require the information for analysis. On the basis of these objectives, the flight test organization will prep are a preliminary flight test program, a list of parameters which must be measured, and other special requirements. The instrumentation design phase begins when the test engineers develop a measurements list. Using this list, the instrumentation engineer produces an overall design approach for the instrumentation system required to obtain the data measurements. In the instrumentation development phase, the hardware and software of the instrumentation system are developed by technical specialists. In this phase, commercially available parts are chosen and ordered, and parts for the system which must be made in-house are designed and fabricated. At the end of this phase, the actual hardware and software will have been obtained, calibrated, and installed.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of this volume about 15 years ago, the AGARD Flight Test Instrumentation Series - to which this Volume 1 is the introduction - has grown to 18 volumes covering many important aspects in the field of flight test engineering. This introductory volume has been extensively and successfully used as an introduction to flight test for those just starting in this field and as a reference volume for courses and symposia. When it was decided that it should be updated, it was decided to retain as much as possible the qualities that were liked in the first edition. The Main Division into three parts of this first edition has been retained: (1) General considerations about the design of a flight test instrumentation system; (2) Design of a single measuring system; and (3) Design of multi-channel instrumentation systems.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes the application of data processing systems to produce data in support of flight testing. The generalized techniques are appropriate to large test centers which support multiple testing programs simultaneously. The concepts, however, are as equally valid for a single test program using a dedicated data processing system. Starting from a discussion of data sources, the text proceeds to a review of the considerations required prior to data processing. A simplified discussion of two major components of data processing - hardware and software - follows. The volume then looks at the third major component of data processing - the people to make it work. The data processing in support of flight testing is described according to processing functions. An attempt is then made to identify potential problem areas. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Flight Testing Introduction to Flight Testing 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.
