DEVICE FOR MEASUREMENT OF LATERAL AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF GLIDING- TYPE PARACHUTE IN WIND TUNNEL

摘要

FIELD: aeronautical engineering; measurement of aerodynamic forces and moments acting on canopy of gliding-type parachute. SUBSTANCE: device has inclined bearing beams and strain gauge balances (at least 4 balances) mounted in pairs on longitudinal beams; strain gauge balances are provided with cross-members to which shorter lengths of parachute lines are secured. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 1 dwg
