Wind Tunnel Tests of a 1/24 Scale Model Air Supported Radome and Tower

Abstract

A need has arisen for radomes suitable for use in areas where wind velocities of 150 mph are likely to be encountered. It was decided that a wind tunnel program would be the optimum method of obtaining tower loading and other data required for design purposes. It was decided that the following parameters would be investigated: wind speed, internal inflation pressure, angle of attack and Reynolds' number.
