Best Practices for Training the Structures Flight Test Engineer

Abstract

The Structures Flight from 412 Test Wing and the Aerostructures Branch at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base have developed a set of best practices for training a structures flight test engineer. These practices represent the hard-won lessons learned and best practices from training generations of engineers to perform high risk envelope expansion and developmental flight test.

Characterization of Radiation Heat Transfer in High Temperature Structural Test Fixtures

The paper looks at the radiant heat exchange between some fairly primitive geometry components, and a few more complex, to understand the radiant energy distribution under a very common radiant lamp consisting of 6 quartz tube (tungsten element) heaters. This is looking at the basic physics of a common device used around the world for many decades. Other papers have looked at this same topic, but ours is looking at other topics we have not seen addressed in the literature (that explain why it is what it is, and other things affecting data interpretation).
