Wind tunnel testing of the IAR 99 SOIM aircraft equipped with means for discovery and control of weather risk phenomena
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents wind tunnel tests on an IAR 99 SOIM model equipped with means for discovery and control of weather risk phenomena. In order to obtain the aerodynamic characteristics of the new configuration of the IAR 99 SOIM necessary for its validation, a test program has been conducted in the transonic wind tunnel with a 1:14 scale model of the respective configuration. Reactive unguided projectile launchers, gas generators and containers for other equipment needed to detect and combat extreme weather were attached on the 1:14 scale IAR 99 SOIM model.
