Abstract

A balance protection system for a wind tunnel test system that includes a balance component, a model component connected to the balance component and a sting component connected to the balance component is disclosed. The balance protection system includes a first set of features on the model component that mate with a second of features on to the sting component. The clearances between the first and second set of features determine an amount of allowed movement of the model with respect to the balance. Actuators can be used to actively adjust the amount of clearance and respective allowed movement of the model with respect to the balance. Limiting movement of the model with respect to the balance protects the balance from damage caused by excessive forces applied to the model.
