Bewegungsapparat für 3D Modelle

The MAV-LAB is designed for wind tunnel testing of 1:1 scale micro air vehicle models (MAV). The development of such small vehicles needs investigations of their behavior under realistic but also clearly defined, repeatable situations that may encounter the vessel during real life flight. The MAV-LAB is capable of measuring the aerodynamic forces and their derivatives whilst performing a flight maneuver with 3 degrees of freedom in the upright Y=0 plane or typical flapping wing motions like plunging, pitching and their combinations or simulating sudden gusts or crosswinds.

Model support

The model support is designed for the measurement of 3D aerodynamic specimen during high dynamic and high precision movements with 3 degrees of freedom in the upright plane.
