Test Techniques for Flight Control Systems of Large Transport Aircraft (eBook)

Test Techniques for Flight Control Systems of Large Transport Aircraft offers theory and practice of flight control system tests. It is a systematic and practical guide, providing insights to engineers in flight control, particularly those working on system integration and test validation. Ten chapters cover an introduction to flight control system tests, equipment tests and validation, software tests and validation, flight control law and flying qualities evaluation, tests of flight control subsystems, integration and validation based on the iron bird, ground-based test, flight-tests, airworthiness tests and validation, and finally, the current status and prospects for flight control tests and evaluation. - Presents flight control system integration tests and validation for large transport aircraft - Includes the most advanced methods and technologies available - Details the latest research and its applications - Offers theoretical and practical guidance that engineers can use - Considers the state-of-the-art and looks to the future of flight control system tests
