New TSAGI developments at the Testing&Control – 2024 exhibition

The Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) is the largest state scientific centre of the aviation and rocket-space industry of the Russian Federation, where the most complex fundamental and applied problems in the fields of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, aeroacoustics, flight dynamics and strength of aircraft structures, as well as industrial aerodynamics are successfully solved. The Institute has a unique experimental base that meets the highest international requirements.

• Precision strain gauge information-measuring system on the PXI/CompactPCI digital platform with import-substituting technology designed for measuring aerodynamic, strength and other loads to support bench tests of objects.

• Standards of mass, length units in the field of mass centre coordinates and moment of inertia measurements, used during type approval tests and verification of stands for mass, mass centre coordinates and moments of inertia measurements.

• Broadband measuring system based on strain gauge multichannel pressure transducer on flexible basis for drainless measurement of pressure fields on models and full-scale aircrafts.

• Universal automatic calibrator of measurement channels for measuring signals of transducers of measuring systems for automatic metrological verification and calibration of measuring systems used for research of strength of structures.

• Six-component strain gauge scales for measuring the full vector of aerodynamic force acting on a model aircraft in a wind tunnel.

• Multi-channel telemetry systems for measurement, recording and real-time transmission of sensor signals with digital and analogue output. Used for testing moving aircraft components such as propellers, controls, landing gear, shafts, etc.
