The aerodynamic load signals acquired though the cassette force balance is transient while the model was tested in an impulse combustion wind tunnel. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the dynamic properties of the force balance. Firstly, it is simplified as a springs-damping-beam system, and then, the dynamic equation is deduced. Secondly, the mechanical properties of the force balance are researched through the finite element method. The output histories of the balance under step and sine loading are acquired. Results show that the mean elastic output of the balance approximates to the load exerting on it. Furthermore, the inertia compensation could not only improve the accuracy of mean output significantly, but also could reduce the transient error between output and input sharply.
