Dynamic Calibration and Validation of an Accelerometer Force Balance for Hypersonic Lifting Models

An accelerometer-based force balance was designed and developed for the measurement of drag, lift, and rolling moment on a blunt-nosed, flapped delta wing in a short-duration hypersonic shock tunnel. Calibration and validation of the balance were carried out by a convolution technique using hammer p...
