Advanced Flight Testing That Gets You Off the Ground

Flight test programs often require specialized instrumentation for measuring, recording, and transmitting flight performance characteristics to the ground where they can be analyzed to ensure that the test conditions are safe. The aircraft environmental state (altitude, air speed, fuel-state, etc.) is identified along with the accelerometer, strain, and other dynamic response information to determine whether there are any potential dynamic instability concerns.

Flight testing can be a time‑consuming and expensive proposition depending on the level of testing required and if telemetry systems are used. ATA has been able to implement cost-effective flight test systems for specialized situations where real-time telemetry data are not required. ATA is able to provide innovative solutions to acquire and process all types of flight testing data without requiring expensive software and hardware solutions. Each customer’s flight test program is different, so we have the ability to quickly and efficiently develop custom software tools based on our IMAT toolkit for MATLAB.
