Flight tests

Flight tests are systematic evaluations of an aircraft's performance and safety during its development. These tests involve flying the aircraft to assess various factors, such as handling, stability, and system functionality under different conditions. Engineers and pilots work together to gather data on how the aircraft behaves in the air, ensuring it meets design specifications and regulatory standards. Successful flight tests are crucial for certifying that the aircraft is safe and reliable for commercial or military use before it enters service. Ultimately, they help ensure passenger safety and operational efficiency.
