ABSTRACT:
A wind tunnel model support mechanism has a double gimbal arrangement coupled to the tunnel's solid string, allowing the model freedom to move in all three major axes; pitch, roll and yaw with limited movement in horizontal and vertical displacement. Such a support enables evaluation of flutter characteristics not possible during conventional fixed sting operations.
