Flight testing is a branch of aeronautical engineering that develops technologies and equipment required for in-flight evaluation of behaviour of an aircraft or launch vehicles and reusable spacecraft at the atmospheric phase of flight. Instrumentation systems for flight testing are developed using specialized transducers and data acquisition ...
Flight test instrumentation (FTI) is monitoring and recording equipment fitted to aircraft for specific flight tests. The development program for a new aircraft design has a number of aircraft each of which has tasks to perform for development and certification tests. They are each fitted with FTI specific to their allotted tasks.

The Pathfinder for the James Webb Space Telescope shown here with extra mirrors on a non-flight test unit of the backplane. A test article or pathfinder is a version of a spacecraft or related vehicle or equipment, built as a platform to perform testing on particular portions of a spaceflight regime. Test articles are built to the ...
Built-in test equipment (BITE) for avionics primarily refers to passive fault management and diagnosis equipment built into airborne systems to support maintenance processes. [1] Built-in test equipment includes multimeters , oscilloscopes , discharge probes, and frequency generators that are provided as part of the system to enable testing and ...
