It is generally, if not universally, accepted that the height of flying skill is embodied in the test pilot and the apex of air engineering ability in the flight test engineer. Despite huge advances in computer modelling and simula- tion, test pilots and flight test engineers still have a crucial role in aviation/aerospace research and development (R&D), for not everything can be modelled and certainty can only be obtained by real-life test flights. Test pilots and flight test engineers, …
