Flight Testing of Fixed-Wing Aircraft (AIAA Education)

A classic Part 23 flight test guide. The author's techniques can be applied to LSA and Part 23 flight testing, with or without and data acquisition system. It sure helps to have a GPS, AHRS, and instrumented control forces and positions though.Much like the Air Force and Navy manuals are tailored to their typical aircraft configuration, this is tailored to small GA aircraft certified under Part 23. The author also presents actual plots for real aircraft which is something of a rarity.

good background info from a highly experienced source. Recommended reading for anyone in the flight test biz. Focused on certification FAA guidelines, fixed-wing oriented with some rotorcraft info, too

good for engineering students and people seriously looking to learn about performance evaluation and flight testing of aircraftsuper-fast shipping

航空機の運動方程式の極の実・虚軸上の位置が飛行特性に与える影響が記述されている。飛行力学を学ぶ者にとっては、貴重な内容であると考える。

Overall very good, bar a few errors that are fairy easy to spot. Kimberlin gives a proper explanation of PIW VIW technique that is lacking in other texts.
