Telemetry Theory and Methods in Flight Test (eBook)

Tingwu Yang, Research Professor/Doctor Degree of Engineering and Supervisor in Xidian University, is a senior member of Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the vice chairman of test technology professional committee of Shaanxi Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He has rich experience in flight test for over 30 years. He is the winner of more than 10 rewards of science technology at the ministry and provincial levels. He owns dozens of national defense invention patents. He has published 40 academic papers and 3 books. The books are Optical-Electronic Measurement Theory and Methods in Flight Test, Telemetry Theory and Methods in Flight Test, and Theory and Methods of Complex Weapon System published in June 2018. His research focuses on the flight test, particularly on space-time position measurement of fly objects, telemetry, data processing, and information fusion.

This book describes systematically telemetry theory and methods for aircraft in flight test. Test targets of telemetry in flight test include airplanes, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, aerostatics, carrier-based aircraft, airborne equipment (systems), weapon systems, (powered) aircraft scale models, aircraft external stores (e.g., nacelle, auxiliary tanks), and ejection seats and so on. The book collects the author's telemetry research work and presents methods that have been verified in real-world tests. The book has eight chapters: the first three discuss the theoretical basis of telemetry, while the other five focus on the methods used in flight tests.Unlike other professional textbooks, this book describes the practical telemetry theory and combines theory and engineering practice to offer a comprehensive and systematic overview of telemetry in flight test for readers.
