| Keywords: The MIT - NASA Langley Magnetic Suspension-Balance System DVIDS713940.jpg en A shuttle model is magnetically suspended in the transparent octagonal test section of the MIT / NASA Langley 6 Inch MSBS Massive power supplies are required to drive electromagnets for model position control A unique electromagnetic position sensor similar to a linear variable differential transformer provides five degrees of freedom for the test model The low speed Mach 0 5 wind tunnel was hand crafted from mahogany Aerodynamic forces on the test model are measured by the proportional electrical current used to hold the model in place The system was built by MIT in the late sixties and was relocated to Langley in the mid eighties In a joint effort with Old Dominion University in 1992 the MSBS was used to test the aerodynamics of store separation simulating a bomb released from an aircraft The system has been donated to Old Dominion University NASA Identifier L91-6504 2009-09-24 Glenn Research Center https //www dvidshub net/image/713940 713940 2012-10-10 17 33 WASHINGTON DC US PD-USGov Langley Research Center Images from DoD uploaded by Fæ | ||||
