Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back DETERMINING THE RATIONAL COMPOSITION OF A PLANE GROUP WHEN PLANNING A FLIGHT TEST S.V. Nikolaev The issues of planning and conducting group flight experiments are considered. Optimization of the quantitative composition of a group of interacting aircraft is carried out, taking into account the introduction of reserve aircraft from the condition of minimum economic costs for flight tests. It is proposed to take into account the infl uence of the "test score" of each flight experiment. Experimental dependences of the "performance" of flight experiments on the quantitative composition of a group of aircraft have been obtained. Keywords: flight tests, modeling, test planning, rational composition of a group of aircraft. DOI: 10.25791/aviakosmos.11.2020.1189 Pp. 28-35.
