Application of telemetry to flight testing at Boeing Airplane Company, Wichita division

Although relatively new at Boeing-Wichita, telemetry has justified its past use and indicated its future potential for the flight testing of piloted aircraft. It is the intent of this paper to discuss the air-borne package and ground receiving units operated by Boeing-Wichita, the use made of these units on various flight tests as a means of data transmission, and finally, to evaluate the system as to its limitations and capabilities.
