Abstract
A ground test system is designed for aerodynamic performance tests of high altitude propellers. The system is consisted of stable power supply, servo motors, two-component balance constructed by tension-compression sensors, ultrasonic anemometer, data acquisition module. It is loaded on a truck to simulate propellers' wind-tunnel test for different wind velocities at low density circumstance. The graphical programming language LABVIEW for developing virtual instrument is used to realize the test system control and data acquisition. Aerodynamic performance test of a propeller with 6.8Â m diameter was completed by using this system. The results verify the feasibility of the ground test method.
