Flight Test and Evaluation

IAR is involved in several programs that assess rotorcraft handling qualities, in co-operation with government, industry, and educational institutions. IAR has the expertise to assess how new or modified equipment, new control augmentation laws/theories, or degraded flight conditions can affect the performance of the pilot and the aircraft. In many cases, these assessments require the development of novel test procedures and equipment as well as the instruction of evaluators in flight test techniques and evaluation methods.
