The paper describes development of Dynamic Pressure Measurement System for empennage buffet pressure measurements. An original Acoustic Calibration System has been developed and used for experimental validation and improvement of DPMS accuracy. The most significant parameters of empennage dynamic loading were investigated allowing for better understanding of aircraft buffet environment.
