Test design and execution at a standard the data demands.
SO(3) designs and executes flight test programs for developers, researchers, and litigants requiring high-fidelity flight dynamics data. Methodology follows formal aerospace flight test practice: a written test plan, safety review, defined success criteria, controlled data collection, and post-flight analysis against those criteria.
Instrumentation is a core capability. SO(3) has designed and fielded non-invasive instrumentation systems that collect critical flight dynamics data on certified airframes without aircraft modification. Test programs have supported litigation reconstruction, independent failure scenario investigation, and development flight evaluation.
SO(3) operates as consulting engineer, flight test engineer, or test director depending on program scope.
