Abstract:

Final results on the development of a precision and automated capability for determining dynamic data for modular aerodynamic configurations MAC in free-flight are presented. The system developed includes a modified single engine aircraft with bomb release and various electronic capabilities, a digital telemetry system, a telemetry receiving van with associated receiving and recording elements, and the MACs with instrumentation devices, soft recovery parachute systems and flight safety equipment. Descriptions are given of drop test of MACs from the aircraft and of MAC wind tunnel tests.
