Hello,
I am designing a rig to measure the rolling moment of a model aircraft. The rig will have a settable yaw, pitch and roll, but only the rolling moment is to be measured. The model aircraft will be similar to an Airfix model. Approx dimensions: L221 x W152. I was just wondering if anyone has done something similar and what range of rolling moments (Nm) they got. This data would be used as an approximation for calibrating the sensitivity of the rig. Alternatively if anyone knows of a reliable method to calculate an approximate moment this would be of great help. I will be testing the rig at up to 20m/s wind flows.
Any help or guidance is much appreciated!
Regards
Dave
