Design and Manufacture of a Transonic Wind Tunnel Model and the Investigation of Model Components under Cryogenic Flow Conditions in the European Transonic Wind Tunnel

摘要

A tornado model wing with high lift devices, which demonstrates that models which exhibit the critical aerodynamic characteristics for a design Reynolds number of 40 million can be built for the European wind tunnel, is presented. Stress, design life, safety factors, and mechanical and physical properties of design elements are discussed. Test data for maraging and austenitic steel elements are presented.
