Avia 201 Project 1 Windtunnel Lab Form Ver 1.20 20200323, Nihad E. Daidzic Mar 2020

Avia 201 Project 1 Windtunnel Lab Form Ver 1.20 20200323, Nihad E. Daidzic

Aviation Department Publications

To introduce aviation/aeronautics/aerospace students to wind tunnel(s) and methods used in experimental identification of various aerodynamic (and stability) coefficients of airfoils (2D), wings (3D) and scale models.


Wind Tunnel Measurements And Data Analysis Tutorial, Nihad E. Daidzic Sep 2019

Wind Tunnel Measurements And Data Analysis Tutorial, Nihad E. Daidzic

Aviation Department Publications

This tutorial gives details on processing of raw aerodynamic data measured directly in the wind tunnel on airfoils and wings. Also procedures and equations from the lab report are given and demonstrated how to compute geometric characteristics of wings/airfoils and air data. All numeric results are typically rounded to five significant digits.

Flight Dynamics: Flying Qualities Of Handling Factors Are Engineered Into The Aircraft Design, Nihad E. Daidzic Dec 2017

Flight Dynamics: Flying Qualities Of Handling Factors Are Engineered Into The Aircraft Design, Nihad E. Daidzic

Aviation Department Publications

Flight dynamics is an aerospace engineering discupline that addresses aircraft stability and controllability. It is also mathematically very intensive and is traditionally the most difficult in the pilot training curriculum. Ultimately, it does not matter how good steady-state performance of an aircraft design is if its flying (handling) qualities are deficient. Paradoxically, the first airplane Wright Flyer, was statically and dynamically unstable, had large control authority, and was difficult to fly. We've come a long way since those early days, but stability is still vitally important in aircraft design and flight ops. The focus of this article will be airplane …
