Observations on some transonic wind tunnel test results of a standard model with a T-tail [PDF]
As a part of a periodic health monitoring of the wind tunnel structure, instrumentation and flow quality, a series of tests of an AGARD-C calibration model was performed in the 1.5 m T-38 trisonic wind tunnel of the Military Technical Institute (VTI) in ...

Study on Wind Load on the Topside Modules of Fixed Platforms
The complex structure of the topside modules of the fixed platform makes it difficult to accurately calculate the wind load of the platform through a unified formula, and to consider the shadowing and interference effects between the platform modules. To

Preliminary Validation of the Wind Tunnel Based Flight Control System Evaluation Method
As mathematical models of aircraft aerodynamics and rudder loadings always have to be built in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation, wind tunnel based flight control system (FCS) evaluation methods were proposed in order to test and evaluate the flight ...
