ENGINEERS of Vultee Aircraft, Inc., have
developed a radio test-flight recorder
that enables technicians sitting in a lab-
oratory to get a complete picture of a plane's
performance while the ship is being test-
flown as far as 100 miles away. Readings
on 70 of the plane's most important parts
are automatically radioed from the plane
to the laboratory where they are recorded
simultaneously on wax disks and sound film.
From these an electro-mechanical “brain”
analyzes each reading as it is received
and plots the trend of the analysis for
visual study. Prime value of the device is
the enormous amount of data it can handle
and the speed and accuracy with which it
can record it. Also should any danger arise
in the . plane, the pilot can be quickly
warned, and if the plane crashes, valuable
records are not lost as they used to be.
