This presentation summarizes seven case studies that illustrate applications of various statistical methods to aircraft performance flight testing. The statistical methods used in the analyses were multi-variable regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and uncertainty analysis. The cases presented were: 1) endurance performance requirement verification, 2) comparison of aerodynamic models, 3) flight test-developed thrust model, 4) climb performance specification compliance, 5) uncertainty analysis of pacer aircraft, 6) evaluation of updated control law, ...
This report presents the calibration results for the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) pacer aircraft. The responsible test organization was the 412th Test Wing, Edwards AFB, California. The overall test objective was to calibrate the F-16B, USAF S/N 92-0457, pacer air data system. The specific test objectives were to (1) determine the static and total source error corrections for the pacer Pitot-static systems, and (2) determine the total air ...
