MULTIFUNCTIONAL TESTBED AIRCRAFT (MFTA) BASED ON TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G01M9/00 B64D1/12 B64D5/00 

FIELD: vibration equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering, namely, to testbed aircrafts (TA) and can be used for flight testing of aviation equipment. Multifunctional testbed aircraft (MFTA) based on transport aircraft comprises transport aircraft with cargo compartment and manipulator. Manipulator is made with hydraulic drive, telescopic boom consisting of moving horizontally main part and deflectable part providing rotation and output into object flow. Unloading device is made in the form of unloading trolley, mechanically connected with main part of boom in point of attachment of deflected part of boom and moving along rail tracks, located in upper part of cargo compartment, due to and simultaneously with movement of main part of boom. At the end of deflected boom section there installed is device for attachment and orientation in flow of test object. MFTA also has a remote control and monitoring system which controls and controls the experiment both from the cargo compartment and the pressurized cabin.

EFFECT: enabling flight tests of various objects by in-line method, obtaining necessary experimental results by orientation in test object flow.
