Engineers adopt different approaches to ensure data quality in aerospace testing. They employ best practice techniques to data acquisition and management to keep data accurate and results reliable.

High speed cameras are used to capture pictures of very rapid events that would be impossible to capture with normal cameras.

A new generation of cabin air conditioning systems is emerging, prompted by a focus on reliability, air quality and sustainability.

Telemetry is critical for the aviation industry to deliver new products. It’s a key asset to aerospace research, testing and FAA certification.

The TmNS is an emerging technology for the major flight-test ranges in the U.S. By allowing for bidirectional data and control, this upgraded ground infrastructure is a significant step forward for the flight-test community.

Telemetry data from military flight tests often needs to be secured, not only when at rest, but also while in motion across a network or a telemetry link.

Awards are in three tiers -- ranging from platinum, the highest, to the gold awards, and finally to the silver awards.

A re-evaluation of hypersonic weapons and vehicles is prompting investment and innovation in test instrumentation and data acquisition.

A proposed Extensible SOQPSK modulation waveform brings the best of both OFDM modulation and single-carrier SOQPSK modulation to telemetry applications.

Avionics technicians make use of oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other high-performance test and measurement instruments to ensure that sensitive RF and microwave systems are working properly.

The tools used to acquire, store and transmit flight test data – flight test instrumentation (FTI), data acquisition networks and telemetry – are a vital part of the aerospace sector. These tools require a high level of maturity because they must be reliable and accurate.

Real-time monitoring during test flights demands FTI equipment that provides highly accurate, comprehensive data, which means that engineers adhere to specific design parameters.
