PXI on a helicopter

[SumRunner]

Dick Meredith helped make a strain measurement of the rotor on a helicopter- during flight. This required mounting a PXI chassis on top of a helicopter rotor, not an easy task. In this video interview, Dick discusses his approach and the National Instruments solution.

I've also attached a few pictures of the test and the setup.

I'm not able to view the video for some reason, but there is a great write-up about the project over at Moore Good Ideas.

I fixed the link, sorry about that. Yes, this is the same project that Moore Good Ideas did, and we could not have done it without his help. He was a great help on this.
