Initial Wind Tunnel Tests of a Magnetically-Suspended Spinning and Coning Ogive Cylinder.
Abstract
Research extending magnetic balance techniques to produce simultaneous spinning and coning motion of a magnetically-suspended wind tunnel model is reported. Initial measurements of the time varying normal force and side force on a model spinning at 100 rps while coning at 2 Hz are reported for coning angles up to 7 degrees and velocities up to 300 ft/sec. Analysis of initial data indicates that improvements in model position sensor stability, balance servo compensation, and data channel filtering will be required to produce data of desired quality.
