内容記述 | The latest improvements are described which were made to the MIT/NASA Langley 6 Inch Magnetic Suspension and Balance System and its operational capabilities. Since its relocation from MIT in 1984, the system has suffered from reliability problems with original equipment. System performance is ultimately limited by noise and antiquated power supplies. Although a limited amount of funding and man hours has been expended, some significant improvements were made to the system. The design and implementation of a new electro-magnetic position sensor has significantly reduced system noise and drift. The system was shown fully operational for the first time since its arrival at NASA Langley. An ogive cylinder test model was suspended while running the wind tunnel at its maximum of approx. Mach 0.5. Other aerodynamic models were suspended with wind on. Also, the simulation of low speed cavity store separation using an ogive cylinder test model is described. Methods used for flow visualization for this test are also discussed. The system is ideally suited for this type of low speed testing. |
