Construction & Design Details
The module consists of a measuring section fitted with interchangeable drag bodies. A beam scale arrangement measures flow-induced forces directly. The Pitot tube can be adjusted horizontally and inclined relative to the flow direction to record total pressures and determine downstream velocity profiles. The cylinder model includes an additional pressure measuring point for detailed pressure distribution analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What bodies are included for drag measurement?
The module includes a flat plate, a cylinder, and an aerofoil model.
Q2. How are drag forces measured?
Drag forces are measured using a beam scale with movable weight.
Q3. Can pressure distribution be measured?
Yes. A Pitot tube is used to record pressure distribution and velocity profiles.
Q4. Is the module standalone?
No. It requires a compatible aerodynamics trainer for operation.
Q5. What additional studies can be performed?
Wake depression and velocity profile downstream of a cylinder can be investigated.
