Testing airflow around cargo pod
Posted: Sat Apr 06, 2013 9:36 am
I finally uploaded a video clip on you tube showing some tuft testing I did on my JT2. "Earthstar Aircraft JT2 Tuft Test"
I wanted to see if my new carbon fiber cargo pod disturbed the airflow much. The video is disappointing quality wise It is my first attempt at posting a video.
I hope you can make out the tufts are stuck like glue to the cargo pod area so that is a good thing. It also shows how areodynamically clean Marks design is on the JT2. It only breaks away a little as it gets to the prop area.
I noticed flying that the added cargo pod added no speed reduction or handling changes what so ever.
Very happy with outcome.
