This book was released on 1982 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This AGARDograph is the 15th of the AGARD Flight Test Instrumentation Series and discusses the use of gyroscopic instruments to support flight testing. Gyroscopic instruments are used in flight tests to measure the aircraft angular acelerations and rates, attitude and heading and - in combination with accelerometers - the linear acceleration, the ground velocity and the position. This volume describes the measuring principles, the technical lay-out and the error behaviour of the sensors and systems used for these measurements: Gyros, accelerometers, attitude and heading references and inertial navigation systems. Attention is also given to integrated and hybrid sensor systems, as they are in the modern instrumentation systems. Examples of actual flight instrumentation systems are described and the requirements for the gyroscopic sensors in these systems are discussed for applications in aircraft stability and control flight tests, in performance tests and in airborne and ground systems calibration and testing.

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.
