Full-scale aircraft tire pressure tests

2009
This paper describes an outdoor full-scale test planned to improve experimental and theoretical knowledge related to the effects of aircraft internal tire inflation pressure on the behavior and damage of flexible pavement. Since modern aircraft can have tire pressures greater than 15 bar, the tests will focus on pressures from 15 bar to 17.5 bar.

On the Dominant Noise Components of Tactical Aircraft: Laboratory to Full Scale

23rd AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference, 2017
Abstract This paper investigates the dominant noise components of a full-scale high performance tactical aircraft. The present study uses acoustic measurements of the exhaust jet from a single General Electric F414-400 turbofan engine installed in a Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet aircraft operating from flight idle to maximum afterburner. The full-scale

Theoretical and practical approach to full-scale aircraft modelling

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2009
Abstract The paper presents the combined modeling of the full-scale aircraft. Here theoretical model of the real motorglider is developed and linearised, while the parameters are estimated also through identification of measured data. The transfer functions for roll and pitch behaviour obtained theoretically and experimentally are compared and ...

Computer Applications in Full-Scale Aircraft Fatigue Tests

1994
The development of computerized load processing techniques for application to a full-scale fatigue test of the aft fuselage and empennage of a Canadian Forces CT-114 (Tutor) aircraft is described. The procedures used to select significant end points from the flight loads and to eliminate nondamaging maneuvers are presented together with the development

Full Scale Test of a Transport Aircraft Thrust Vectoring System

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1997
<div class="htmlview paragraph">VSTOL transport aircraft pose unique thrust vectoring control requirements. The control moments have to be very large in comparison with VSTOL fighter aircraft because the moments of inertia are so much larger due to a high aspect ratio wing and distributed payload in the fuselage.

SHM with FBGs on a Full-scale Composite Aircraft Part

Photonics and Fiber Technology 2016 (ACOFT, BGPP, NP), 2016
This paper discusses results obtained in a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) test of a full-scale composite aircraft part using Fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs). The FBGs were bonded to the surface of the aircraft part to monitor the part before and after localized damage was created.

Forebody flow control on a full-scale F/A-18 aircraft

10th Applied Aerodynamics Conference, 1992
A full-scale F/A-18 was tested in the 80- by 120-Foot Wind Tunnel at NASA Ames Research Center to measure the effectiveness of pneumatic forebody vortex control devices. By altering the forebody vortex flow, yaw control can be maintained to angles of attack greater than 50 deg.

Fatigue Testing of Full-Scale All-Composite Aircraft Wings

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1987
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A full scale fatigue test program has been established which will test a sailplane wing set to destruction. A flight loads data acquisition program using the instrumented high performance sailplane owned by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology has been conducted to determine the loading cases and spectrum ...
