NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19930090724: Wire Suspensions in Wind Tunnel Experiments

Author: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

Year: 1925

The elimination of the rigid supports for models and their replacement by wires constitute a great improvement by rendering negligible the interactions of support. There are disadvantages to wire, namely, the aerodynamic resistance is very large and their use is rather difficult because the whole suspension lacks rigidity and easily becomes distorted. We will here investigate the nature of these distortions, evaluate the errors they entail and describe the methods for taking account of or avoiding them.
