Abstract
Aerodynamic coefficients of the HB-2 AGARD reference model measured in a new AT-303 hypersonic wind tunnel with adiabatic compression are presented. The experiments are performed in the ranges of Mach numbers M = 9.7 − 15.6 (Red = 0.14·106 − 1.32·106) and angles of attack α = −4°−12° with the use of an internal six-component strain-gauge balance. The technique used for processing and correcting measured results, which takes into account the dynamic properties of the model and the specific features of the nozzle structure, is described in detail. The aerodynamic coefficients obtained for this model are compared with similar data obtained in wind tunnels of Germany, France, and the USA.
