Flight Test Engineering

This is the parent page for all free online flight test engineering articles on the Academic Flight website. Articles on flight test engineering are posted here. For our online test pilot and flight test engineering courses, please go to our test pilot course page.

The flight test engineering articles cover selected topics in four main areas of flight test engineering:

  • Programming/Software/Data Processing Tools
  • Aircraft Performance
  • Aircraft Flying Qualities (including Handling Qualities)
  • Modern Flight Control Systems (MFCS)

We currently do not have any articles planned on the other two major flight test areas, flutter/vibrations and systems testing. However, the corresponding test pilot literature section in the bibliography of this website has references to many resources covering these topics.
