A design and fabrication approach for six-component rotating shaft balances has been established. The rotating shaft balances (RSB) have been developed for measurement of propeller shaft forces on wind tunnel models, both for installed and isolated testing. By using an RSB it is possible to determine the propeller wing interference effects on the propeller as well as on the wing. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) system is used to determine the off-axix components of the forces and moments.
