Aerospace Sciences has considerable experience in flight testing - ranging from Unmanned Aerial Systems, General Aviation aircraft certification, helicopter towed systems, and business jet towed targets and military P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft.

Flight testing tasks have involved the following:

Certification testing on two GA aircraft
Spin testing program on GA aircraft
First of type baseline flight tests on GA aircraft
Flight loads, structural integrity and stall flight tests on P-3C Orion aircraft
Developmental flying quality and performance tests on several Unmanned Aerial Systems
Towed target flight dynamics operational tests on Learjet aircraftP-3C Orion high stall speed investigation flight
Helicopter towed EM array tests on Bell Model 47, Jetranger and Aerospatiale Squirrel & Allouette types including EMI/EMC source victim tests.
Store separation tests involving stores release from F-111 and F/A-18 aircraft, and
Avionics and GPS based evaluations on GA aircraft.

Aerospace Sciences is Australia's leading authority for UAS testing and certification through applying its extensive experience and knowledge from manned certification programs.
