Cyclotech successfully completed its summer flight test campaign with Blackbird. After extensive simulations using wind tunnel data and comparing them with real-flight test results, the company has confirmed that its flight control system simulations accurately replicate the real-world behaviour of the BlackBird demonstrator. This is said to have given the company confidence to successfully wrap up the summer test campaign and move forward to the next phase.
