Two-dimensional oscillating airfoil test apparatusA two-dimensional oscillating airfoil test apparatus is presented as a method of measuring unsteady aerodynamic forces on an airfoil or rotor blade section. The oscillating airfoil test rig, which was built for use in NASA Ames Research Center's 11x11-foot Transonic Wind Tunnel (speed range M = 0.4 - 1.4), allows determination of unsteady loadings and detailed pressure distributions on representative airfoil sections undergoing simulated pitching and flapping motions. The design details of the motion generating system and supporting structure are presented.
