Computer Applications in Full-Scale Aircraft Fatigue Tests
1994The 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

Theoretical and practical approach to full-scale aircraft modelling
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2009Abstract 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 ...

A new full scale aircraft antenna test facility
Ninth International Conference on Antennas and Propagation (ICAP), 1995A modern outdoor test facility has been designed for comprehensive evaluation of antenna systems on full scale aircraft. The aircraft are mounted to a positioner/tower assembly in an underground handling facility, and are raised to a height of 25 meters by a hydraulically activated lift.

Full scale lightning generation techniques for aircraft susceptibility evaluations
IECEC-97 Proceedings of the Thirty-Second Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference (Cat. No.97CH6203), 2002There are numerous laboratory tests that simulate aircraft/lightning interactions to assess aircraft survivability and vulnerability. One such test uses a high voltage capacitor bank to generate a high current pulse that is applied to an actual aircraft or a geometrically similar structure.

Full-Scale Aircraft Turbine Engine Controlled Environment Corrosion Testing
CORROSION 1976, 1976The insidious results of the multi-faceted corrosion problem is of more serious consequence in today's economy than that of the middle 1960's. It was in this era, where the continuing growth of dollar expenditures to correct and/or alleviate aircraft engine corrosion problems, that a concerted effort was launched to provide corrosion free powerplants ...

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 ...

Real-time nondestructive evaluation for full-scale aircraft fatigue test
SPIE Proceedings, 2008Damage identification and fatigue crack inspection during the test is a key foundation for full-scale aircraft fatigue test. It is very important to determine the fatigue life and maintenance period of the aircraft structure. The paper presents a brief introduction about a practical engineering method on real-time non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of ...

Overview of a full-scale aircraft intersystem EMC test facility
1993 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, 2002An enhanced test facility for high-power, radiated susceptibility testing of aircraft has been developed. The facility consists of the Electromagnetic Environment Generating System (EMEGS) and four test areas. The EMEGS was specifically designed for full-scale aircraft radiated susceptibility testing and is the first high-power system to be fully ...
