INTERACTIVE ANALYSIS AND DISPLAY SYSTEM (IADS) TO SUPPORT LOADS/FLUTTER TESTING

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Interactive Analysis and Display System (IADS) provides the structures flight test
engineer with enhanced test-data processing, management and display capabilities
necessary to perform safety critical aircraft analysis in near real-time during a flight test
mission. The IADS provides enhanced situational awareness through an analysis and
display capability designed to increase the confidence of the engineer in making clearance
decisions within the Mission control Room (MCR) environment. The engineer achieves
this confidence level through IADS’ real-time display capability and simultaneous near
real-time processing capability consisting of both time domain and frequency domain
analyses. The system displays real-time data while performing interactive and automated
near real-time analyses; alerting the engineer when displayed parameters exceed
predefined threshold limits. Real-time data and results created in near real-time may be
compared to previous flight test data to enhance the user’s confidence in making point-to-point
clearance decisions.
The IADS provides a post flight capability at the engineer’s project area desktop, with a
user interface common with the real-time system. The post flight IADS provides all of the
capabilities of the real-time IADS with additional data access and data organization,
allowing the engineer to perform structural analysis with test data from the each flight and
compile summary plots and tables over the most of the test program. The IADS promotes
teamwork by allowing the engineers to share data and test results during a mission and in
the post flight environment. This paper discusses the system overview and capabilities of
the IADS.
