This chapter deals with some applications of the infrared technology for industrial flight tests of helicopters. The main application concerns the measurement of structural temperature. Flight tests are performed on a prototype helicopter equipped with suitable infrared cameras in order to measure the surface temperature of structures located in the vicinity of the engines exhaust nozzles. These trials show that the infrared technology is fully usable for helicopter flight testing purposes and the results inferred underline that this instrumentation offers clear advantages compared with the methods generally used.
