FLIGHT TEST ENGINEERING HANDBOOK

Abstract

Methods of obtaining flight test data for reciprocating engine aircraft (including helicopters) and turbojet aircraft are presented together with various methods of data analysis and data presentation. Correction of aircraft performance to standard conditions is included, as are detailed derivations of correction factors and performance parameters. Numerous graphs and charts containing information required by and useful to the flight test engineer are presented, together with sample data reduction forms and sample flight test programs.
