Ground Calibration of a Strain-Gauged CT-4A Aircraft (1980),

Abstract

A CT-4A flight test aircraft has been strain-gauged and subjected to various ground calibration loadings including wing bending, wing torque, tailplane bending, and fin bending. Results of regression analyses on the strain/load data are presented and compared with previous calibrations. (Author)
