An affordable, modular data acquisition system for aircraft vibration testing is validated through ambient, taxi, and impact hammer experiments. Benchmarking against industry-standard equipment shows expected agreement between spectral peaks, supporting reliable modal identification and demonstrating applicability to aerospace research, prototyping, and other vibration-sensitive industries.
