New Rotary Rig at RAE (Royal Aircraft Establishment) and Experiments on HIRM (High Incidence Research Model),

Abstract

A rig for measurement of forces and moments due to continuous rate of roll has been commissioned at RAE Bedford. Tests have been made on a High Incidence Research Model (HIRM) in two wind tunnels at M = 0.2, 0.4 and 0.7. At present models can be tested up to 40 deg angle of attack at rotational speeds up to 350 rpm. Tests on HIRM included an investigation of configuration and Reynolds number effects. Results are compared with similar data from tests with another rolling rig and from small amplitude oscillatory tests.
