Test Pilots is an accurate, insightful, broad survey of flight testing from medieval tower jumpers to astronauts that focuses on the test pilot as vital link between designers, the hardware they produce, and a flying public. . . . As a survey of a largely unexplored subject, [th…
Discusses the history of the X-15 flight program, how its results yielded information valuable for later space programs, and the experiences of the program's twelve test pilots.
The book presents a synopsis of the main results achieved during the 3 year EU-project 'Advanced Inflight Measurement Techniques (AIM)' which applied advanced image based measurement techniques to industrial flight testing. The book is intended to be not only an overview on the …
