Overview

Objectives:

Tests were performed on a full model with installed CROR engines. The model was mounted on a ventral sting, located at tunnel centre line. The model was provided with two powered Counter-Rotating propellers which are driven by two air motors (owned by the Topic Manager).

The aim of the test was to determine the aerodynamic performance and stability & control characteristics of a CROR powered aircraft. During the test, innovative measuring techniques and hardware solutions were used to assess the aerodynamic signature.

The test was performed in the 8mx6m closed test section of DNW-LLF.
