Flight tests are evaluations conducted to assess the performance and safety of aircraft, including commercial airplanes, military jets, and drones. These tests help engineers and pilots gather data on how the aircraft behaves under various conditions, such as different speeds, altitudes, and maneuvers. During a flight test, a team of experts monitors the aircraft's systems, controls, and overall functionality. The information collected is crucial for making improvements and ensuring that the aircraft meets regulatory standards set by organizations like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
