The invention belongs to the technical field of
airplane wind tunnel test model design, and discloses a middle
fuselage structure of a large-size low-speed wind tunnel
turboprop airplane test model and a design method thereof, the middle
fuselage structure adopts a composite design of combining an internal steel skeleton and an external aluminum
alloy cover plate, and the internal steel skeleton is made of 30CrMnSiA
alloy steel and serves as a
main bearing structure; the outer aluminum
alloy cover plate is made of 7075 aluminum alloy, and the aerodynamic shape of the middle
fuselage is formed. A structure for installing wind tunnel
test equipment such as a slip flow test
air bridge is arranged on the internal steel framework, and the problems that the internal space of a traditional large-size middle fuselage is small, and the equipment is difficult to install are solved. Meanwhile, the method further comprises the
optimal design of detachable upper and lower cover plates, a balance, a supporting rod connecting piece, a split type transition rectification bag and the like, and on the premise that the
structural rigidity and strength and the test precision are guaranteed, the
machining difficulty is greatly reduced, and the
machining period and cost are greatly reduced. The method is suitable for manufacturing and testing the large-size low-speed wind tunnel
turboprop aircraft test model.
