Abstract

One of actual contemporary scientific and engineering problems is design of light airplanes intended for monitoring of natural and technogeneous disasters. Flight test is very important step in design process for any aircraft including light one. Aerodynamical and other characteristics are revealed and refined by means of flight tests. This activity is based on data obtained from various measuring devices including airplane on-board ones. It is needed some preliminary analysis of precision for the measuring equipment to provide exact and valid experimental data. Results of the analysis allow us to build some appropriate equipment set needed to support flight tests. A technique is suggested to carry out a correlation analysis for characteristics of measuring devices solving the problem stated in the paper.
