UAV Flight Test Development
The purpose of this project was for the student team to attempt to develop a program and capabilities that will allow future students to test designs in a controlled environment using industry standard best practices. Referring to work completed in past Aeronautics and Astronautics capstone projects, this student team worked to identify two of the most well-developed supersonic and highly efficient structural aircraft for additional research and development in the areas of modeling, simulation, data acquisition and telemetry systems. This student team also sought to develop a testing program that trains new engineers in flight testing principles and will work to develop a testing site allowing for beyond line of sight UAV flight testing.
