Evaluation of a Wind Tunnel Technique to Determine Aircraft Departure Characteristics
Abstract
A wind tunnel pilot test was conducted to develop a captive aircraft testing technique. By utilizing wind tunnel research to determine the static aerodynamic forces and moments in conjunction with an on-line digital computer programmed with the equations of motion, a series of aircraft stall/departure type maneuvers was generated. A 1/72-scale A-7D aircraft model was utilized. All maneuvers were initiated at Mach number 0.50 at a simulated altitude of 20, 000 ft.
