A flight-loads measurement program on the YF-12 aircraft required the mounting of 101 strain-gauge bridges in the fuselage, fuel tanks, control surfaces, and three stations on the left wing. The sensors were to be installed primarily on titanium and were required to operate between -70 and +600 F. Strain gauges with modified Karma filaments and backings of glass-fiber reinforced epoxy resin matrices were selected and were installed with an epoxy adhesive. Attention is given to the calibration, mounting, and performance of the sensors in flight-load measurements.
