Ground and Flight Testing for Aircraft Guidance and Control,

Abstract

The objective of this AGARDograph, assembled by the Guidance and Control Panel of AGARD, is to bring together the benefits in use of major test facilities and techniques in evaluating aircraft guidance and control functions, components and systems. The emphasis will be on specific examples of user oriented test programs rather than descriptions of the facilities. The AGARDograph is organized into five parts. Part I deals with control handling and active control testing; Part II covers tests on flight path control; Part III focusses on navigation system testing; Part IV embarks on combat guidance and control evaluation and Part V gives some insight in testing of flight-crucial digital systems in guidance and control. Additional keywords: NATO furnished; fuel conservation; ground testing; wind tunnel tests; helicopter warfare; avionics; dead reckoning; air to air; aerial warfare; fighter aircraft.
