ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring coupled aerodynamic stability and damping derivatives of an object, such as a missile, towed decoy, etc. in a wind tunnel. The object is mounted on a bearing in the wind tunnel and contains an instrumentation package which provides a plurality of signals for determining coupled moment derivatives. The package includes three rate sensors, three accelerometers, and two thermal detectors for measuring the time rate of change of the full six degree of freedom state vector for aerodynamic derivatives.
