Abstract

To determine the flight of a ski jumper it is essential to know what aerodynamic forces are acting on the ski jumper. However, few data on this are available, especially for a V-style ski jumping flight. We have measured the aerodynamic forces during the free flight phase for a V-style, as well as a parallel-style, ski jump by employing a full-size model in a wind tunnel. The aerodynamic force data, (drag, lift and pitching moment) were obtained to create an aerodynamic database. These forces are given in polynomial form as functions of the angle of attack, the body-ski (forward leaning) angle and the ski-opening (V-style) angle. Using the polynomial form database is a convenient way of obtaining the aerodynamic forces. Moreover, the wind tunnel was equipped with a ground effect plate to measure the aerodynamic forces during the landing phase. It was found that the difference between the lift with and without the ground effect plate increases with the ski-opening angle. The longitudinal stability in the pitching motion of a body-ski combination is also discussed on the basis of the pitching moment data. This indicates that a stable pitching oscillation of the body-ski combination may arise around an equilibrium point in the angle of attack, the trim angle of attack, during flight. Verf.-Referat
