Terminology and Axis Systems for AIAA G-129 Aerodynamic Wind Tunnel Testing

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of AIAA G-129 testing. This standard provides a recommended test terminology for steady-state wind tunnel testing that includes force, torque, and pressure data. This standard can be used as an interpreter (Rosetta stone) between different facilities and customers. Use of this standard will improve understanding and communication between customers and facilities in the wind tunnel testing community.

The main focus throughout this process has been to achieve a balance between too much or too little detail in terminology parameters and definitions. When names are too long, it is no longer terminology but a complete description of the item. The best terminology is immediately understood without the need to search. It is recognized that for full adoption of this standard it must be easy to use and understand.

Test naming ambiguity can be a source of confusion, error, and inefficiency. While wind tunnel facilities measure many of the same physical quantities and apply similar corrections to their data, no facility and customer use the same set of terminology.

This creates challenges for facilities with multiple customers and customers testing at multiple sites. This sometimes leads to serious confusion, especially when a variable has the same name but a different meaning. Finally, wind tunnel operation often requires staff transfer between facilities, which will be greatly facilitated by common terminology at each facility.

EUROLAB assists manufacturers with AIAA G-129 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories.
