Instrumentation of a Cessna 310H Aircraft for Academic Investigation of Flying Qualities and Performance Characteristics.
Abstract
The two-course study of flight evaluation techniques offered by the Aeronoutics Department of the Naval Postgraduate School requires an airborne laboratory phase of instruction that introduces the student to the actual problems encountered in obtaining accurate inflight data. To satisfy this need, a civilian registered Cessna 310H aircraft, N164X, was leased by the Naval Postgraudate School in April, 1973. An airborne data acquisition system was designed and installed that allows three students to obtain individual measurements of twelve performance and stability and control parameters. The measurements are obtained using both electrical and differential pressure sensors, and are manually recorded by each student. Due to time constraints, no in-flight evaluation of the system has yet been conducted. (Author)
