A Set of Two NACA0012 Aerofoil with Tappings

A set of two NACA0012 aerofoils.

One aerofoil has a span that extends the full width of the working section of the Subsonic Wind Tunnel (AF1600S). This model has the characteristics of a two-dimensional aerofoil.

The other aerofoil has a span that extends for half of the working section of the wind tunnel. This model has the characteristics of a three-dimensional aerofoil. Comparing the measured lift and drag of the two aerofoils shows the differences between two-dimensional and three-dimensional aerofoils.

Using a Pitot tube, students can traverse the aerofoil wake of the full-width aerofoil. This gives them the downstream pressure distribution to find the drag on the aerofoil. They can compare their results to direct measurements from a balance (available separately).

Students can compare the results from the full-width aerofoil with the tapped aerofoil model (AF1600b, available separately) as it has the same (NACA0012) section.

TecQuipment’s Smoke Generator (AFA11, not included) increases the educational value of the experiments by showing the flow of air around the model.

AF1600H - Experiment
Aircraft Model - High Wing

The high wing model aircraft with NACA profile wings for use with the Large Subsonic Wind Tunnel (AF1600) is good for experiments with lift, drag and pitching moment of fixed wing aircraft.

AF1600G - Experiment
Aircraft Model - Low Wing

A low wing model aircraft with NACA2415 profile wings for use with TecQuipment's Large Subsonic Wind Tunnel (AF1600S)

AF1600J - Experiment
Three-Dimensional Drag Models

A set of different shape models for use with the Large Subsonic Wind Tunnel (AF1600S) each with identical frontal area to allow students to compare the different coefficient of drag for each shape. Includes a dummy stem for tests to cancel out the drag due to each model’s support arm.

AF1600C - Experiment
NACA2412 Aerofoil with Variable Flap

A 150mm chord NACA2412 aerofoil with 590 span featuring a variable flap that adjusts +/- 90 degrees for use with the AF1600 Subsonic Wind Tunnel.

AF1600B - Experiment
NACA0012 Aerofoil with Tappings

A 150 mm chord NACA0012 aerofoil with 595 mm span and 20 static pressure tappings.

AF1600A - Experiment
Cylinder Model with Pressure Tapping

A cylinder model that spans the full width of the working section of the AF1600S Subsonic Wind Tunnel. A holder (included with the wind tunnel) supports the model in the tunnel.

AF1600F - Experiment
Flat Plate Bundary Layer Model Roughened and Smooth

A pair of boundary layer models with a mounting plate, also a pitot and a static probe for investigating boundary layer. One plate is roughened, the other smooth to allow comparisons on boundary layer growth.

There are 1 recommended ancillaries for the A Set of Two NACA0012 Aerofoil with Tappings

AFA11 - Ancillary
GENERADOR DE HUMO

This smoke generator and probe are an optional ancillary to TecQuipment's AF1125, AF1450 and AF1600. It allows the observation of airflow in subsonic wind tunnels and other airflow situations.
