Download or read book Flight Test the Discipline written by Peter Tyson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Flight Test? Since the Wright Brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk, aerodynamicists, engineers, and mathematicians have conquered the equations of flight. So, we should be able to know everything from wind tunnels, simulation, and computation, right? No. The dynamics of flight require in air test. It is impossible to replicate all the flight conditions on the ground. Or there may be specific flight conditions on the ground. Or there may be specific flight regimes that are poorly defined or too complex to model, such as the flow field around an aircraft carrier. But if we must test in flight, how can we do that safely, efficiently, and effectively? This book describes the basic principles and concepts of flight test. Beginning with the questions and goals of flight test, and showing the parallel between flight test engineering and the Scientific Method, FLIGHT TEST: THE DISCIPLINE covers all the steps of test planning, execution, and reporting. Whether you are a professional flight test engineer or a novice, an aviation buff, or aircrew, you will enjoy the discussion in this book and understand how flight test is a crucial part of man's development of flight. The authors of this book represent vast experience within US Naval Aviation flight test. They bring their array of knowledge and skill to any test team, showing the fundamentals of flight test and most importantly, the "Why?" of what we do in flight test. This book was written to complement the FLIGHT TEST: THE DISCIPLINE training course presented by AVIAN at www.avian.com and Peter Tyson at www.phtyson.com
Download or read book Airborne Laboratory Measurement of Aircraft Performance and Stability and Control for Light Aircraft Supplement written by Kent R. Crenshaw and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a supplement to the article 'Integration of an Airborne Laboratory into the United States Air Force Academy Academic Curriculum' in USAFA-TR-83-2. It contains the test plans, flight test planning guides, and aircraft specifications handouts used during the applications phase of the Department of Aeronautics Airborne Laboratory. Sample calculations and plots from actual flight test data taken by cadets are also included. While at test plans, flight test planning guides, and aircraft specifications were designed to be used with the Beechcraft Sierra and Sundowner, the formats are sufficiently general so that they can be applied to any single-engine, general aviation aircraft. Commonly recognized flight test techniques are used for gathering data, and data reduction is accomplished using accepted procedures. (Author).
Download or read book Helicopters written by Paul Beck and published by Silver Dolphin Books. This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From fighting deadly forest fires to rescuing troops behind enemy lines, helicopters perform incredible feats. Filled with exciting illustrations, easy instructions, and fascinating tidbits on all types of helicopters and their uses, Flight Test Lab: Helicopters explains concepts like flight theory; describes the latest technology; and explores the inner workings of these mechanical marvels. Author Paul Beck describes Thomas Edison's near-deadly attempts at helicopter design and explains how Black Hawks can fly over 1,100 miles. Best of all is the inclusion of all the parts -- even a launcher -- needed to assemble a simple flying helicopter, a police copter, a military chopper, and a rescue helicopter.

Download or read book On Subscale Flight Testing written by Alejandro Sobron and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downscaled physical models, also referred to as subscale models, have played an essential role in the investigation of the complex physics of flight until the recent disruption of numerical simulation. Despite the fact that improvements in computational methods are slowly pushing experimental techniques towards a secondary role as verification or calibration tools, real-world testing of physical prototypes still provides an unmatched confidence. Physical models are very effective at revealing issues that are sometimes not correctly identified in the virtual domain, and hence can be a valuable complement to other design tools. But traditional wind-tunnel testing cannot always meet all of the requirements of modern aeronautical research and development. It is nowadays too expensive to use these scarce facilities to explore different design iterations during the initial stages of aircraft development, or to experiment with new and immature technologies. Testing of free-flight subscale models, referred to as Subscale Flight Testing (SFT), could offer an affordable and low-risk alternative for complementing conventional techniques with both qualitative and quantitative information. The miniaturisation of mechatronic systems, the advances in rapid-prototyping techniques and power storage, as well as new manufacturing methods, currently enable the development of sophisticated test objects at scales that were impractical some decades ago. Moreover, the recent boom in the commercial drone industry has driven a quick development of specialised electronics and sensors, which offer nowadays surprising capabilities at competitive prices. These recent technological disruptions have significantly altered the cost-benefit function of SFT and it is necessary to re-evaluate its potential in the contemporary aircraft development context. This thesis aims to increase the comprehension and knowledge of the SFT method in order to define a practical framework for its use in aircraft design; focusing on low-cost, short-time solutions that don’t require more than a small organization and few resources. This objective is approached from a theoretical point of view by means of an analysis of the physical and practical limitations of the scaling laws; and from an empirical point of view by means of field experiments aimed at identifying practical needs for equipment, methods, and tools. A low-cost data acquisition system is developed and tested; a novel method for semi-automated flight testing in small airspaces is proposed; a set of tools for analysis and visualisation of flight data is presented; and it is also demonstrated that it is possible to explore and demonstrate new technology using SFT with a very limited amount of economic and human resources. All these, together with a theoretical review and contextualisation, contribute to increasing the comprehension and knowledge of the SFT method in general, and its potential applications in aircraft conceptual design in particular.
