The Bundeswehr Technical and Airworthiness Center for Aircraft ((ドイツ語:Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Luftfahrzeuge - Musterprüfwesen für Luftfahrtgerät der Bundeswehr)) or ((ドイツ語:Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 61) (''WTD 61'')) is one of several testing centres of the German Armed Forces. Its tasks are the testing and evaluating of military aircraft and aerial weapon systems. The centre is also responsible for certifications and inspections of modifications made on aircraft already in service with the German Armed Forces. The Bundeswehr Technical and Airworthiness Center for Aircraft is not integrated into the command structure of the military branches of the German Armed Forces but is a branch of Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (''Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr'' (''BAAINBw'')) which is directly subordinate to the Federal Ministry of Defence. Founded in 1957, the centre is based at Manching Air Base. The unit has a strength of about 650 personnel, 50 of which are members of the armed forces, the rest are civilian. == Tasks == The responsibility of the Bundeswehr Technical and Airworthiness Center for Aircraft is to ensure that only safe, effective and efficient weapon systems are introduced into service with the German Armed Forces and to evaluate if the systems tested fulfil the requirements expected. The centre also carries out trials on and evaluations of weapon systems which are not planned to become part of the German Armed Forces inventory. Notably, this happened after the German reunification in 1990, when a large variety of former East German aircraft from the National People's Army became available.〔B. Vetter & F.Vetter, ''Deutsche Einsatzhubschrauber'', p. 58〕 The specific tasks of Bundeswehr Technical and Airworthiness Center for Aircraft are defined as: * Processing of research and technology proposals * Testing and evaluation * Sample inspection and approval * Technical processing and consultancy of project and usage management * Operating of Manching Air Base including its own air space * Operating of measuring instruments and installations including data analysis * Operating of instrumented test carriers accompanied by test crews and flight trial engineers * Basic and advanced training 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bundeswehr Technical and Airworthiness Center for Aircraft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
