Abstract
Verbatim from NASA NTRS. Not paraphrased, not summarized.
The Structures Flight from 412th Test Wing and the Aerostructures Branch at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base have developed a set of best practices for training a structures flight test engineer. These practices represent the hard-won lessons learned and best practices from training generations of engineers to perform high risk envelope expansion and developmental flight test. Collectively, these organizations have tested many of the world's most advanced and innovative aircraft, including the B-2, C-17, F-22, F-35, RQ-4, X-29, F-18 High Angle of Attack Research Vehicle, X-53, G-III Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge, and X-56.
