BALANCE SYSTEM FOR THE ABERDEEN 13" X 15" SUPERSONIC WIND TUNNEL

Abstract

A new design 6-component external balance system for a supersonic wind tunnel is described. The design contemplates use of Eastman electromagnetic weighing cells, and considers such factors as building vibrations and temperature changes Interactions and their elimination are ddiscussed including the method of alignment of parts.
