The theory for aerodynamic loading associated with transient motion of an airfoil in a wind tunnel has been extended and verified experimentally. A generalized Theodorsen Function which includes wall effects is described, and finite-state approximations are developed for large wing-semichord to wall-spacing ratios. Finally, experimental results are presented which verify the theoretical predictions for transient airfoil motions. These results were obtained using a small, low-subsonic wind tunnel with a unique airfoil suspension design that provides uncoupled sensing and actuation for two degrees of freedom.
