Some of these companies requested that introductory material on flighttesting be incorporated into our curriculum, to expose and promote flight testing as a career forour graduates. Balaji Kartikeyan was a graduate student at WSU who was also in his 2nd year asan intern in flight test at Bombardier. He and Jim Steck, who teaches and does research in aircraftdesign, flight dynamics and flight controls, 4 years ago, developed a flight test homeworkassignment for a junior level flight dynamics course, and, more importantly, 4 flight testmodules/assignments to be included in the senior/graduate intermediate flight dynamics course.These

Also missing are the source locations of ingredients andother materials [2].We lost that information not only because this information was a trade or guild secret, but alsobecause the oral and hands-on nature of the techniques were not passed on at some point.
