The global Flight Test System market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1500 million in 2025 to US$ 2647 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2025 to 2031.
Flight testing is the branch of aeronautical engineering that develops the specialized equipment needed to test aircraft behavior and systems. The instrumentation system was developed using a proprietary sensor and data acquisition system. Data is sampled during aircraft flights or atmospheric tests of launch vehicles and reusable spacecraft. The data is verified and analyzed for accuracy, and then passed on to a specialist engineering team for further analysis to validate the vehicle"s design.
The flight test phase accomplishes two main tasks: 1) uncover and resolve any design issues, and then 2) verify and document vehicle functionality for government certification or customer acceptance. The flight test phase can range from the testing of a single new system on an existing vehicle to the full development and certification of a new aircraft, launch vehicle or reusable spacecraft. Therefore, the duration of a particular flight test program can vary from a few weeks to many years.
The statistical scope of this report includes suppliers of aircraft testing equipment and software, as well as suppliers of aircraft testing services. Also, only revenue from third-party sales is included in the report. Large commercial aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing have their own testing departments. Revenues from such divisions testing their own company"s products will not be included in the report.
