RECENT ADVANCES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MAGNETIC SUSPENSION AND BALANCE SYSTEM FOR WIND TUNNELS (PART III).

Abstract

The report presents a discussion of the recent development work on a magnetic model suspension and balance system. System equipment additions and modifications are described. Wind tunnel test data is presented. A summary of work done on dynamic stability testing with the magnetic balance is given. Studies on roll control, a digital position measuring system, and magnetic model configuration are discussed. A summary of the design of a magnetic suspension and balance system for the twenty-inch hypersonic tunnel is included. (Author)
