WIND TUNNEL AIRCRAFT MODEL WITH TRUNCATED WING

WIND TUNNEL AIRCRAFT MODEL WITH TRUNCATED WING

An aircraft model (17) for testing in a wind tunnel (11) of width W comprising a fuselage (21), a truncated wing (25) whose length L1 is lesser than the length L of a full scaled wing (23) and additional components in the rear aircraft as, in particular, an horizontal tail plane (29), that produces...

Zusammenfassung:An aircraft model (17) for testing in a wind tunnel (11) of width W comprising a fuselage (21), a truncated wing (25) whose length L1 is lesser than the length L of a full scaled wing (23) and additional components in the rear aircraft as, in particular, an horizontal tail plane (29), that produces the same downwash arriving to said additional components than in a full scaled model. The shape of said truncated wing (25) may be designed for having a similar lift distribution (35) to the lift distribution (37) of a full scaled wing (23) along at least the maximum length L2 in the Y-axis of any component in the rear aircraft. The invention also relates to a method for designing said truncated wing (25).
