Summary
The purpose of this work on highly flexible wing models is the validation of the numerical direct simulation, developed in the Collaborative Research Center SFB 401. The first step in the validation process is the investigation of a flexible straight wing model in the subsonic region. The design and construction of this wing model will be described under consideration of aerodynamic and structural constraints. A short introduction in the measurement techniques and the tests under wind-off and windon conditions will be given. Different data reduction methods to obtain the frequency and the damping factor during wind tunnel tests will be introduced. Some experiments under steady state and transient flow conditions will be presented for validation of the numerical calculations.
