Flight testing is a means to collect (evidence/research) data. All processes related to flight testing are covered within Flight test support: from defining requirements to preparing flight test plans, realisation of instrumentation suites and provisions and finally support of test flight execution and data analysis.
NLR can support you with flight testing for certification of new or modified systems and applications on your aircraft. We provide expert guidance on setting up a flight test in both military and civil domains. Whether you’re working with fixed wing, rotary wing, or unmanned platforms such as RPAS, UAV, UAS, or drones, we can help you establish a comprehensive flight test program. Our services also include instrumentation for your flight test, as well as providing a clear understanding of the entire flight test process, including test cards, test points, and other related topics.
