Abstract: A test flight system includes a test aircraft, and an atmospheric conditions-detecting vehicle that is separate and distinct from the test aircraft. The atmospheric conditions-detecting vehicle is configured to be deployed during a test flight of the test aircraft to detect atmospheric conditions of an environment in which the test aircraft operates during the test flight.
