Wind Tunnel Test Results on a Flight Path Accelerometer at Subsonic and Supersonic Speeds

摘要

A test program was conducted to obtain the damping characteristics of the vanes and to provide a flow calibration of a newly developed flight path accelerometer (FPA). After earlier calibration results identified an interference problem from the sideslip vane strut on the angle-of-attack vanes, the sideslip vane was moved rearward, necessitating additional calibration tests. Results are reported. (Author)
