Design, Testing, And Calibration Of A Custom Air Data Boom To Obtain Flight Data For The Utsi Cessna-T210j (N33ut), Kristopher Nathaniel Oegema

Masters Theses

Flight testing is dependent on the ability to accurately calculate the flight characteristics of an aircraft during a test. Any error caused by an instrument will grow into potentially larger errors or unacceptable ranges of uncertainty for any flight test calculations. The aircrafts pitot static system is designed to minimize the error in readings caused by the pressure changes resulting in air flying around the aircrafts structure. However, it still does not meet the level of accuracy desired for quality flight testing data. In order to get the most accurate data possible noncommercial equipment is installed on the aircraft for …
