Flight Test Measurement Techniques for Laminar Flow

The Systems Concepts and Integration (SCI) Panel has a mission to distribute knowledge concerning
advanced systems, concepts, integration, engineering techniques, and technologies across the spectrum of
platforms and operating environments to assure cost—effective mission area capabilities. Integrated defence
systems, including air, land, sea, and space systems (manned and unmanned) and associated weapon and
countermeasure integration are covered. Panel activities focus on NATO and national mid- to long-term
system level operational needs. The scope of the Panel covers a multidisciplinary range of theoretical
concepts, design, development, and evaluation methods applied to integrated defence systems.

One of the technical teams formed under the SCI Panel is dedicated to Flight Test Technology. Its mission
is to disseminate information through publication of monographs on flight test technology derived from
best practices which support the development of concepts and systems critical to maintaining NATO’s
technological and operational superiority. It also serves as the focal point for flight test subjects and issues
within the SCI Panel and ensures continued vitality of the network of flight test experts within NATO.

These tasks were recognized and addressed by the former AGARD organization of NATO in the form of
two AGARDograph series. The team continues this important activity by adding to the series described
below.

In 1968, as a result of developments in the field of flight test instrumentation, it was decided that
monographs should be published to document best practices in the NATO community. The monographs in
this series are being published as individually numbered volumes of the AGARDograph 160 Flight Test
Instrumentation Series.

In 1981, it was further decided that specialist monographs should be published covering aspects of
Volume 1 and 2 of the original Flight Test Manual, including the flight testing of aircraft systems.
The monographs in this series (with the exception of AG 237, which was separately numbered) are being
published as individually numbered volumes of the AGARDograph 300 Flight Test Techniques Series.

At the end of each AGARDograph 160 Flight Test Instrumentation Series and AGARDograph 300 Flight
Test Techniques Series volume is an annex listing all of the monographs published in both series.
