Accelerometers for flight testing
Flight testing and innovation
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The role of accelerometers in aircraft prototypes
The objective of this project is to provide the necessary vibration sensors for the different Flight Test Initiatives (FTI) of several aircraft prototypes, validating the structural designs and systems, as well as supporting their certification before the authorities.
Airbus Defence and Space organizes rounds of consultations to obtain characteristics of the accelerometers best suited to the requirements and casuistry of each test to be performed, ensuring that they were able to meet the needs they posed. All this must be achieved without compromising safety margins.
