The methods that fix how aerospace systems connect and then prove that they work: the controlled document that states what one system must provide to another, and the wind tunnel, flight and fatigue tests that check a design against its requirements. A method belongs here when the cited article describes it as a way of defining an interface or of verifying an aircraft, spacecraft or their parts by test. Fabrication and joining methods belong in the airframe group of the same field.

Wind tunnel uses include assessing the effects of air on an aircraft in flight or a ground vehicle moving on land, and measuring the effect of wind on buildings and bridges.

Has Member: Flight Testing, IntroQuote, Has Member: Flight Testing, Intro
Flight testing is a branch of aeronautical engineering that develops technologies and equipment required for in-flight evaluation of behaviour of an aircraft or launch vehicles and reusable spacecraft at the atmospheric phase of flight.
