I want to design and build a flight test air data collection pod that can be attached to any aircraft such as the RV series, Stearman, Cub etc. I thought I would see if anyone here might have advice/suggestions/skills to offer in completion of this project.
I am planning for 2 telescoping booms weighing less than 10 pounds per boom. I want one boom to collect airspeed, static pressure, and air temperature, and I want the second boom to collect angle of attack and yaw angle information.
I'd like to have it intgrated in to small computer or ipad that would automatically record the data and time.
The end result would be a bolt on pod (brackets would be individually tailored to the test aircraft) capable of recording data to allow bootstrap performance calculations for any airplane.
Thanks in advance!
