Aerodynamic Loads on Devices for Simulating Inlet/Engine Flow Conditions and Effects of Test Installation on Tunnel Operation

Abstract

Aerodynamic loads were experimentally determined using 1/16-scale models of the flow-shaping device configurations to be used with the newly developed flow-shaping technique for testing full-scale inlet/engine systems in the AEDC 16-ft Propulsion Wind Tunnel (Transonic) at high angles of attack and at combinations of angle of attack and angle of yaw. The wind tunnel operating characteristics and performance limitations with the inlet/engine and the flow- shaping devices installed were also determined.
