ABSTRACT:
A monitoring system for monitoring a test article includes a scanning system and a computer system. The test article may be positioned within a fluid tunnel. The scanning system may be configured to scan the test article and record positional data of at least one point on an article surface of the test article. The computer system is in communication with the scanning system for receiving the positional data and being operative to determine at least one of the following: a position of the test article, an attitude of the test article, and deformation of the article surface.
