..., and calibrated against limited existing wind tunnel data. To facilitate 7DOF model validation, simulation results are compared with video analysis of actual flights under comparable conditions. Despite current limitations of the 7DOF model, the results compared well with experimental flight trajectory data...

...Zhi-hong Zhang; Yukio Tamura This paper presents preliminary results of an aeroelastic wind tunnel test on a cable dome. The structural design of the model is given in detail. Similarity requirements based on dimensional analysis are discussed, including Froude number, Cauchy number, and Scruton...
