DID YOU KNOW? (Images shown above) NNASA’s Langley Landing & Impact Research (LANDIR) facility used DTS solutions to capture critical data during a full-scale drop test of a 45-foot CH-46E Sea Knight Marine helicopter. The helicopter was dropped from 9 meters at 48 km/h, with over 350 sensor channels, 13 instrumented crash test dummies, additional non-instrumented ATDs, and 40 high-speed cameras collecting precise impact data.
