Designing the critical flight test instrumentation (FTI) systems that validate aircraft performance requires more than selecting the right sensors and data-processing hardware; it demands a rigorous approach to power management and thermal regulation.

Flight test is essentially a process of proving that an aircraft is safe and performs as designed. Instrumentation engineers install sensors all over the aircraft and then fly it in a carefully controlled environment. The collected data must be high-quality as it’s the hard evidence that the aircraft is ready for its intended civil or military application.

AXN/VID/401 Axon module automatically detects, captures and compresses a single HD-SDI/3G-SDI channel and supports independent low-data-rate video channel for real-time telemetry.

FTI solutions displayed will highlight the new MDAU-1394 high data rate module, a TmNS air-to-ground system, a miniature airborne telemetry system, high-speed & high-definition cameras, an airborne data analysis, visualization, and post-test reporting sof

The new AXN/PCM/401 Axon module simultaneously packetizes up to two channels of PCM data with support for all PCM line codes

The new AXN/DSI/401 module brings 24 channels of discrete input monitoring, each supported by persistent and numerous counters, to Axon DAUs for FTI applications.

New KAD/MDC/105 module supports dual 64-Channel DTC Pressure Scanners

Engineers adopt different approaches to ensure data quality in aerospace testing. They employ best practice techniques to data acquisition and management to keep data accurate and results reliable.
