Abstract
Novel method of generating comprehensive longitudinal aerodynamic data of aircraft using a dynamic wind-tunnel simulation is presented.The method utilizes the motion and force responses of an aircraft model to control surface inputs to determine trim lift characteristics, longitudinal stability derivatives, and neutral point. In addition, large-amplitude lift and pitching moment responses13; characterizing the unsteady aerodynamic behavior are also generated using the same experimental setup. The new test method is demonstrated using a generic delta wing aircraft model with 1 DOF in pitch. The model pitch attitude and lift force responses to elevon dynamic inputs are measured and used to deduce longitudinal aerodynamic data. Comparison of these results with static test data and Datacom estimates shows good agreement.
