[video text : Edwards Air Force Base / USAF] • USAF Test Pilot School DG-1000S Glider Test • Today we bring you a beautiful video clip from our testers at the U.S.A.F. Test Pilot School located on Edwards Air Force Base. In this video pilot Tim McDonald is conducting a medium-risk test with a DG-1000S glider for the TPS Flying Qualities Branch. At TPS there is an event called the Glider Spin event, which is used to demonstrate classical spins and spin testing to the students. Currently they use an aging ASK-21 glider but the DG-1000S Stall Spin Flight Test and Evaluation is being conducted to determine if it would be a suitable replacement for the ASK-21. • The inverted spins you saw in the video are part of the test team's investigation into the stall, spin and recovery characteristics of the aircraft. We hope you enjoy this amazing video which was shot by Mr. Brad White right here on Edwards Air Force Base! Learn more about the U.S.A.F. TPS at http://www.edwards.af.mil/units/usaftps.
