Description

NACA2412 Aerofoil with Variable Flap

An unsymmetrical section (cambered) aerofoil with adjustable flap.

The Three-Component Balance (AF1600t, available separately) can hold the aerofoil to measure lift, drag and pitching moment. Using a Pitot tube, students can traverse the aerofoil wake to find the downstream pressure distribution and find the drag on the aerofoil. They can compare these results with the direct measurements from a balance.

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

Learning outcomes

  • Study the effects of control surfaces such as flaps, ailerons, elevator or rudder.
  • Examine the difference between unsymmetrical and symmetrical aerofoils, by comparing the results to the AF1600d symmetrical aerofoils.

Alternatives
Af107 8 Copy High Wing Only

Aircraft Model - High Wing

AF1600H - Experiment

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.

Af1600J 1118

Three-Dimensional Drag Models

AF1600J - Experiment

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.

A Set of Two NACA0012 Aerofoil with Tappings

AF1600D - Experiment

This set of two NACA0012 aerofoils allows students to compare the results from a full-width aerofoil with a half width aerofoil.

Af107 8 Copy Low Wing Only

Aircraft Model - Low Wing

AF1600G - Experiment

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

Af1600B 1118

NACA0012 Aerofoil with Tappings

AF1600B - Experiment

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

Af1600A 1118

Cylinder Model with Pressure Tapping

AF1600A - Experiment

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 0719

Flat Plate Bundary Layer Model Roughened and Smooth

AF1600F - Experiment

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.
