In-Flight Load Measurements of the Robot X Canards.

Abstract

The strain gauge system implemented in one of the Robot-X canards is described. The system is designed to measure lift, drag and torque. The description includes design considerations, calibration procedures and data reduction techniques. Data are presented from an early Robot-X flight test. Keywords: Robot-X, Airframe, Canard, Stress, Stress measurement, Aerodynamic load, Instrumentation, Flight test.
