Airborne Performance Measurement System Design: C-5 Aircraft

Abstract

This study identified and defined the required functional capabilities of an airborne performance measurements system for the C-5 aircraft. The requirements of the airborne PMS were defined to satisfy both research and training needs. A mission equivalent to the nominal mission utilized in the C-5 flight simulator PMS was defined. The C-5 aircraft signals that can be extracted to support the performance measurement of this mission were identified. From this a series of design approaches for an airborne PMS was developed. A system design specification was produced for an airborne PMS system selected from these design approaches.
