| Summary: | The purpose of this experimental study presented in this paper is to measure the dynamic stability derivatives of a generic combat aircraft model in the Ankara Wind Tunnel by using the direct forced oscillation technique. The model, which is used for the oscillatory tests is known as the AGARD, Standard Dynamic Model (SDM) and is manufactured as a generic combat aircraft model to verify different measurement techniques in various wind tunnels of NATO countries. The aerodynamic loads acting on the model are measured with a five component internal strain gauge balance placed inside the oscillating model. The paper presents the experimental set-up used to create the oscillatory motion in pitch for the model and the related motion control and the data acquisition units to measure the dynamic loads, and discussed the results of the measurements. |
