What is NIFTI?
NIFTI is a Non-Intrusive Flight Test Instrumentation System developed by MEMKO Pty Ltd that revolutionises aircraft flight testing by enabling rapid, affordable and flexible flight trials.
Developed by flight test crew, NIFTI is a small, aircraft independent, wireless sensing system that collects environmental data using sensor nodes adhesively mounted to an aircraft's structure.
NIFTI has been developed in close collaboration with the RAAF Air Warfare Center (AWC). Technology has been licensed and developed from the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group concept.
