Exclusive: Joint Airbus & Boeing flight test lecture

On 14 March the Royal Aeronautical Society's Flight Test Group hosted a unique event at the RAeS HQ in London - a historic joint lecture by Airbus and Boeing test pilots and flight engineers. The lecturers were: Paul Bolds-Moorehead, Senior Lead Engineer, Boeing; Capt Van Chaney, Deputy Chief Test Pilot, Boeing; Capt Terry Lutz, Experimental Test Pilot, Airbus and Stephane Vaux, Flight Test Engineer, Airbus. In what is thought to be a 'world first' between these two rival aviation manufacturers, the flight test personnel described the challenges and complex procedures involved in stall testing large jet airliners - a necessary safety requirement before these aircraft are certificated by regulators. The lecture included a detailed explanation of the aerodynamics, the extensive planning and preparation before the tests, and the precise and skilled way in which these tests are carried out. In addition, some interesting questions were raised at the end of the lecture on the future of stall testing. Could a fully Fly-by-Wire stall-proof aircraft be designed? And, if so, how would you stall-test it? What is clear from this talk is though Airbus and Boeing may be deadly sales rivals, in flight test professionalism and advancing the cause of aviation safety, there is much in common between them. The lecture also demonstrates the Royal Aeronautical Society's global role in advancing the art and science of aeropscae by providing neutral ground for informed discussion, debate and learning. As one presenter noted at the end of the lecture: "When it comes to flight test safety there's no competition between them." Though this is a fairly lengthy (1.40) it is a must-watch video for test pilots, flight test engineers, airline pilots and anyone interested in the extensive way in which modern aircraft are flight tested today.
