Recent UAS aerodynamics testing activities at WSU-NIAR

Abstract

Since 2009, the Walter H. Beech Wind Tunnel (WBWT) at Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research has provided significant aerodynamic testing services in support of eleven unmanned aerial systems (UAS), aerial target, missile, and bomb development programs. The goal of the presentation is to educate the Kansas UAS industry on the capabilities and value of wind tunnel testing at the WBWT.
