English Definitions:
test pilot (noun)
a pilot hired to fly experimental airplanes through maneuvers designed to test them
Test pilot
A test pilot is an aviator who flies new and modified aircraft in specific maneuvers, known as flight test techniques or FTTs, allowing the results to be measured and the design to be evaluated. Test pilots may work for military organizations or private, companies. Testing military aircraft, in particular, is regarded as the most challenging and risky flying conducted in peacetime. In the 1950s, test pilots were being killed at the rate of about one a week, but the risks have shrunk to a fraction of that, thanks to the maturation of aircraft technology, better ground-testing and simulation of aircraft performance, and, lately, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to test experimental aircraft features. Still, piloting experimental aircraft remains more dangerous than most other types of flying.
