Design and Operation of the Mobility Development Laboratory (MDL) Static and Dynamic Test Machines.
Abstract
The objective of this effort was to develop a facility and the necessary test machines to determine the static and dynamic characteristics of Air Cushion Systems (ACS), Advanced Mobility Systems (AMS), and conventional landing gear concepts through testing of dynamically scaled models. These requirements dictated that test machines be designed, fabricated and built to perform tests under static conditions as well as tests during vehicle taxi, takeoff and landing over various ground surfaces and positive and negative obstacles of varying size and shape. To cover this proposed test matrix, two test machines were developed, the Static Test Platform and the Dynamic Test Machine.
