DYNAMIC STABILITY DERIVATIVES OF A MANUEVERING COMBAT AIRCRAFT MODEL
Keywords:
Dynamic stability derivative, Standard dynamic model, OscillationAbstract
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.
