Time-dependent aerodynamics is primarily concerned with the pressure distributions developed by moving control surfaces, such as the oscillation of a trailing-edge flap, the rapid extension of a spoiler, or the pitching of a canard.Some recent experiments in time-dependent aerodynamics are reviewed. These include wind tunnel dynamic interference and its attenuation, the aerodynamics of an oscillating trailing-edge flap, the reduction of response to turbulence by active control, the aerodynamic characteristics of rapidly moving spoilers, and the time-dependent aerodynamic characteristics of supercritical wings.The paper concludes with a discussion of aeroelastic problems at subsonic and transonic speeds and with some buffeting measurements in a cryogenic wind tunnel.

“…This is a highly successful fully oper-ational facility developed at NASA Langley Research Center to explore the design, operational, and research characteristics of the high Reynolds number cryogenic wind tunnel concept (9). From the point of view of exploring extensions of the superconductor magnetic suspension technique to large seal* facilities it offers the two main advantages of cryogenic wind tunne_s, i.e., drastically reduced aerodynamic loads for a given Reynolds nuvber (low q), and a cryogenic environment in th(o test section which simplifies the cryostat design and promotes relative reduction of coil size.…”
