Abstract
After the successful application of the Image Pattern Correlation Technique (IPCT) on the P 180 experimental test aircraft for wing vibration measurements on ground, the complete camera installation has been certified for flight testing to perform a feasibility test with in-flight IPCT for wing deformation measurements. Finally, several successful flight tests have been executed at the Piaggio Aero Industries plant in Genova (Italy). As the measurement technique and the measurement installation have been described in a detailed way in Chap. 4, this paper mainly contains a brief description of the applied installation, the performed flight tests and a presentation of the measurement results.
