This paper presents the design, fabrication and testing of a dynamic wind tunnel test rig that is used in conjunction with aircraft dynamics theory in estimating aerodynamics stability derivatives. The value of and can be obtained from free oscillation theory of pure pitching motion. The rig compris...
