There is particular emphasis on the use of modern on-board instruments and inexpensive, off-the-shelf portable devices that make flight testing accessible to nearly any student. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text presents a clear articulation of standard methods for measuring aircraft performance characteristics. Topics covered include aircraft and instruments, digital data acquisition techniques, flight test planning, the standard atmosphere, uncertainty analysis, level flight performance, airspeed calibration, stall, climb and glide, take-off and landing, level turn, static and dynamic longitudinal stability, lateral-directional stability, and flight testing of unmanned aircraft systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnique to this book is a detailed discussion of digital data acquisition (DAQ) techniques, which are an integral part of modern flight test programs. This treatment includes discussion of the analog-to-digital conversion, sample rate, aliasing, and filtering. These critical details provide the flight test engineer with the insight needed to understand the capabilities and limitations of digital DAQ. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eProvides an introduction to the basic flight testing methods and instrumentation employed on general aviation aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes examples of flight testing on general aviation aircraft such as Cirrus, Diamond, and Cessna aircraft, along with unmanned aircraft vehicles.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuitable for courses on Aircraft Flight Test Engineering.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Flight Testing\u003c\/i\u003e provides resources and guidance for practitioners in the rapidly-developing field of drone performance flight test and the general aviation flight test community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James W.
