This document provides a detailed historical overview and analysis of the T-28 aircraft's instrumentation, which is vital for atmospheric research. It covers various parameters, including position, attitude, velocity, static pressure, humidity, vertical rate of climb, and microphysics. Notable instruments such as VOR/DME, GPS, and various sensors for cloud water, electrification, and chemistry are discussed. The instrumentation also incorporates advanced technologies, such as accelerometers and particle charge measurements, to enhance data collection in turbulent and dynamic atmospheric conditions.
