Upgrade of a new T-35 wind tunnel test section by adding a tail support systemSlobodan Lemajić Nikola Mrkalj
In order to improve conditions for testing aircraft models and axially symmetrical bodies, a new T-35 wind tunnel test section has been upgraded. This superstructure enables placing of models and axially symmetrical bodies on a tail support system. Tests in the range of high subsonic velocities have been made possible since the reconstruction of some wind tunnel elements and the installation of the injection system during the 80s. Velocities up to 0.5 M (“A” regime) reached using fan drive, can be increased up to 0.80 M (”B” regime) due to the injection system.
Key words: wind tunnel, reconstruction, tail support, aircraft testing. |
