The Feasibility of Utilizing the Dynamic Field Evaluator (DFE) as a Vulcan System Acceptance Tester (VSAT).

Abstract

The dynamic field evaluator (DFE) is a sophisticated electro-mechanical system which has been developed and used for collecting vulcan performance data. This report describes the study performed to determine the feasibility of using the dynamic field evaluator as instrumentation in acceptance test of rebuilt vulcan systems. It addresses the capabilities of the DFE, its shortcomings, and recommended modifications. There are proposed methods to compare DFE output to known values for the specific flight paths involved. Comparison of DFE data and model results is shown through use of charts.
