In Summer 2020, GT-AE completed a major renovation and unification of various spaces in the Montgomery-Knight building, resulting in the newly-christened Indoor Flight Laboratory (IFL). Totaling over 2000 square feet of floor coverage, the IFL can be operated either as a single large space or as two smaller independent spaces via the deployment of motorized partition screens. Each space has its own independent Vicon motion-capture system that can be operated individually or in unison, altogether totaling 56 cameras. Netted and screened control booths in each space provide test personnel a safe zone with high performance PCs running Vicon software, with a raised netted gallery in the larger space affording prime views to any additional observers. Ancillary equipment available to users of the space include ceiling-mounted projection system, a large-diameter fan for wind simulation, and various test rigs and measurement devices for characterizing vehicle parameters. A dedicated technical team is on hand to provide training and engineering support for students, researchers, and external users to maximize the potential of the IFL.
