A little while ago I asked if anybody were interested in why and how
we at Dryden instrument our research aircraft. In the face of an
overwhelming demand that I tell you about this (hey, almost a dozen
people said "sure, why not?" :-) ) I'm putting together a brief
account.
I'll post this to sci.aeronautics and rec.aviation. I think that
this will assure the best distribution. If I'm wrong, I'm entirely
certain that someone will point that out. (Flight suits are Nomex
for good reason!)
The subject line for all portions will be "Research Aircraft
Instrumentation ..." to make it easy to avoid.
If this works out well, I'll then post a similiar series on how to
plan a flight test program.

Of course I don't speak for NASAraveling@isi.edu (Paul Raveling) (10/19/89)
Mary Shafer called this morning to say that she'd expect some response to her instrumentation postings, and that the NASA folks expect to be off the net for perhaps a week. Their network access goes through Moffett, which apparently didn't emerge unscathed after the earthquake. Until they're back on the net, I can serve as a "phone net" gateway to Mary. Naturally, articles to follow Part 1 will be delayed a bit. ---------------- Paul Raveling Raveling@isi.edu
