The application of numerical control (NC) in manufacturing wind tunnel models
Abstract
A numerically controlled milling machine with an accuracy of 0.01 to 0.02 mm adapted to the manufacturing of wind tunnel models, and a three axis measuring machine with an accuracy of 0.01 mm and a resolution of 0.05 mm on which models can be measured quickly and accurately are described. A procedure in which a given plasticine model is measured by the measuring machine to obtain the coordinates for models without numerical data is outlined.
