Improvement of vehicle’s drag coefficient in the wind tunnel
Wind Tunnel Balance
Model Size System
The HORIBA Model Scale 6 Component External Wind Tunnel Balance can also be used for other test objects such as aircraft models, ship models, motor bikes and others.
Applications
- Use in research and development
- Vehicle model measurement
- Ship model measurement
- Building model measurement
- Further measuring objects
- Direct measurement of all forces and moments without lever systems
- Modular system with a variety of options
Options
- Yaw angle adjustment via precision bearing. Adjustment is with the use of a controlled servo motor equipped with angle encoder.
- Angle of attack adjustment via central strut. Adjustment is with the use of a servo motor equipped with angle encoder.
- Balance calibration for additional reference points
- Special measuring ranges for individual customer requirements
- Foundation spacer for adjustment of balance to local situation
- Moveable and height-adjustable foundation spacer for removal of balance from test section
- Ethernet interface to host computer
- Impact pressure acquisition
- Special requests and solutions
