A captive testing technique capable of simulating aircraft maneuvers at high angles of attack has been developed and tested in the Aerodynamic Tunnel 16T of the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC). The captive technique uses a closed loop system between wind tunnel, model, and computer. Use of the wind tunnel as an analog forcing function eliminates the requirement for a conventional static data matrix in motion simulation. Various high angle-of-attack maneuvers (rudder roll, aileron roll, wind-up turn, etc.) were generated with the captive system and show good correlation with flight data. (Author)
