Abstract

On development aircraft, the Flight Test Engineer Station (FTES) allows onboard engineers to lead flight tests. This system gives access in real time to the aircraft parameters (~350.000 monitored parameters on A380), allows the control and the monitoring of flight test specific systems (water ballast, data recorders, video system...) and monitors the whole flight test installation. Regardless of the amount of information to display, the graphical user interface should be "user friendly" and "easy to use" enough to allow engineers to focus on testing. The system is based on an enhanced multi-screen display system and on a tablet PC interface for some specific controls. To fulfil the high level of computing needs, the FTES is based on a distributed architecture: several multi-core computers are interconnected via Ethernet. This modular architecture allows fault tolerance concepts and offers an attractive level of scalability. Virtualization products are used to rationalize and optimise the number of servers. Due to operational constraints, the system should be autonomous and based on robust technical solutions. The hardware, operating system, middleware and software are designed or customised accordingly.
