Experiences with the Use of a Side-Strut Model Support System for High Angles for Attack in the Tmk Trinsonik Wind Tunnel

摘要

Experience with a relatively simple model support system for high angles of attack in a blowdown wind tunnel are presented. The advantages of low production costs and low operational costs as compared to the standard system face the disadvantages of increased aerodynamic interference and asymmetrical deformations. Interference tests show the limitations of the use of this system. It can be used into the supersonic domain, especially for high Mach numbers. It is only conditionally usable in the transonic domain.
