Data Set
1)
How are pressures typically measured in a wind tunnel?
strain gage
dynamometer
load cell
pitot probe
2)
Where would you expect the highest pressure on an airfoil wind tunnel test at alpha=0 deg?
mid pressure surface
trailing edge
mid suction surface
leading edge
3)
What type of pressures are expected over the airfoil surface during a wind tunnel test?
suction pressures
gage pressure
static pressure
total pressure
4)
How are the pressures over the airfoil surface obtained?
transducer on model
strain gage
pressure taps
load cell
5)
The pressures over the airfoil can be integrated to obtain
Lift
Drag
Moment
All of the above
