Abstract

In this paper some experimental results related to a calibration model (the Standard Dynamics Model, SDM) are presented.

The wind tunnel test activity is based on static force measurements and flow visualisations. The behaviour of the fuselage on its own is analysed and a correlation with some available prevision theories for the onset of asymmetries on ogival forebodies is proposed.

A complete set of static data for the SDM is introduced, evaluating the main aerodynamic interactions between the various elements of the configuration.

A series of flow visualisations was performed to verify with qualitative results the validity of the conclusions found from the analysis of the static coefficients.
