Abstract
The E-6B Mercury had to be inducted into a ground-handling simulation, and there was no model to simulate with. Talion Edwards describes the programme's scope and its challenges, the reverse-engineering and modelling campaign run in Hangar 67 at Cecil Field, how the resulting data was used and what the simulation produced, and what the customer got out of it – a large-scale reverse-engineering job driven not by the desire for a model but by a downstream analysis that could not start without one.
