Closed circuit, continuous, sub-, trans- and supersonic wind tunnel with three exchangeable test sections.
Typical tests:
– 2D airfoil tests with flow control devices (e.g. vortex generators, suction, blowing, ventilation, trailing edge devices, MEMs), helicopter blades
– Configuration studies, data set determination of 3D models (missiles, fighters, spacecraft).
– Air intake surveys for fighters and missiles
– Drag bookkeeping with through-flow ducts
– Dynamic tests: free and forced pitch oscillation of dynamically scaled flexible 2D and half-models; flutter and limit cycle oscillation; dynamically linked substructures (nacelle, flap); forced and free-to-roll maneuvers
– Air data system and probe calibration
