Flight Mechanics, Flight Control and Aeroelasticity
Flight Measuring System
Characteristics
- Measurement and recording of air data (airspeed, angle of attack, barometric altitude, temperature and pressure) as well as flight condition data such as attitude, turning speeds, position and control forces
- Data recording at 100 Hz; the measurement and sampling of the analog signals is done with a fourfold oversampling
- Easy management and configuration of software and hardware for adaptation to special measuring tasks
- Currently installed in the STEMME S15 prototype for flight tests
- The measuring system does not have an aviation certification!
