Abstract

FLEXOP is a project within the European Union's Horizon 2020 framework which develops methods for aeroelastic wing tailoring and active flutter suppression. The developed methods are integrated within a subscale flight demonstrator named T-FLEX. The demonstrator is a 65kg take-off weight, 7m wingspan unmanned aircraft with a V-Tail and is powered by a jet engine. T-FLEX is also used by the follow-up project, FLiPASED. The paper describes the flight test environment of the demonstrator by providing insight into the setup of the aircraft, its systems and flight surroundings. Special effort is made to explain the operational procedures and preparations required to safely perform the flight tests.
