Flite - Flight Test Easy
From 01-12-2000 to 30-11-2003
Description
The development of a new generation aircraft requires a careful exploration of the dynamic behaviour of the structure subject to vibration and aero-elastic forces. This is achieved via a combination of ground and in-flight tests. This projects aims at improving the exploitation of flight test data in two directions. Firstly, we will develop techniques for exploiting tests under natural excitation conditions (e.g. turbulence), without resorting to artificial tail fin excitation. Secondly, we will develop algorithms, software and procedures for use enabling on-line, in-flight exploitation of these data, thereby allowing more direct exploration of the flight domain, with improved confidence and at reduced cost. This is made possible thanks to a rich and solid background from the project's technology providers, who have developed a breakthrough technology for structural identification and monitoring in the framework of the former EUREKA project E! 1562 SINOPSYS. In addition to world top rank technology providers in the area under consideration, the Consortium comprises leading manufacturers from Europe in civil aircraft in the area of flight tests. One major milestone of the project will be the validation of test data acquisition during the flight test from some Airbus aircraft and FALCON (F50EX, F2000, F900) and SKYTRUCK (PL) projects. Testing the new techniques and algorithms in parallel with state-of-the-art techniques will allow aircraft engineers to become actively interested in comparing new and current practices.Team
