Most undesired outcomes usually do not occur because of a single event, but rather from a series of events and actions involving equipment malfunctions and/or human factors. This book comprises a series of case studies focusing mostly on accidents and incidents involving experimental aircraft. The information provided should be of use to flight-test organizations, aircraft operators, educators, and students, among others. These lessons are not unique to the UAS environment and are also applicable to human aviation and space flight activities. Common elements include crew resource management, training, mission planning issues, management and programmatic pressures (e.g., schedule, budget, resources), cockpit/control station design, and other factors F-15 RPRV : the first practical remotely piloted research vehicle -- HiMAT, increasing aircraft performance capabilities -- DAST, exploring aeroelastic structural design -- Perseus, high-altitude, long-endurance science platforms -- Theseus, mission to planet earth -- Helios prototype, chasing the sun -- Hyper-X, hypersonic air-breathing propulsion -- Manning the unmanned, humans in the loop -- Analysis of human factors in a Predator-B crash -- Conclusion : the lessons of history. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
