AIAA-2002-0169 INITIAL TEST OF A WIRE SUSPENSION MOUNT FOR MISSILE VIRTUAL FLIGHT TESTING John C. Magill* and Shawn D. Wehe† Physical Sciences Inc. Andover, MA 01810 Abstract engineering challenges in system implementation, formulated a candidate design, and experimentally A wire suspension system to enable wind tunnel demonstrated its functionality. Key issues addressed Virtual Flight Testing of missile models has been included designed, built, and tested. This prototype used six steel cables to suspend a model-mounting collar in the • Model/support mechanical interface tunnel. The collar contained a three-axis ball-bearing • Aerodynamic interference of the support pivot to enable roll, pitch, and yaw motion. Tension • Three-component force measurement load cells in each of the cables allowed measurement of • Mechanical stiffness forces on the model. This paper describes the design of • Actuators for manipulating the model,
