Abstract
Installation and evaluation of a proposed airborne data
acquisition system was accomplished for use aboard the Aeronautical
Engineering Department's Cessna 310H. This flying
laboratory was obtained for use with the two-course series
in flight evaluation techniques to enable students to employ
actual flight test methods and to gain an insight into the
problems and limitations of flight testing. Static and dynamic
analyses were performed on the aircraft's pitot-static
boom, and a method was found to dampen vibration of the boom
in flight. System calibration procedures were formulated,
and the system was tested throughout the flight envelope of
the aircraft. The system was found to provide satisfactory
data for classroom work and will certainly improve as additional
sensors are added.
