Abstract

A dual airfoil testing system includes a platform including a frame defining a chamber that is configured to receive a horizontal flow of air for testing a first airfoil and a second airfoil contained in the chamber and a control system including a controller to control a first attack angle stepper motor, a second attack angle stepper motor, at least one gap stepper motor, and at least one stagger stepper motor. The controller is configured to automatically control and adjust the stepper motors to control and adjust the attack angle of the first airfoil, the attack angle of the second airfoil, the gap between the first airfoil and the second airfoil, and the stagger between the first airfoil and the second airfoil.
