A magnetic suspension system for aerodynamic wind tunnel models is described. The system is designed to hold axi-symmetrical models in a Mach 8 airstream. The models, which may be flown at small degrees of incidence, are controlled in five degrees of freedom. Aerodynamic forces on a model may be measured under conditions more nearly approaching those of free flight. The system has been used to measure drag forces on a conical model. No great difficulties were encountered in launching or recovering the model. (Author)
