GTTC Organization


13


• Established to address technical needs in aerospace ground testing community

• Provide forum for discussion and the development of solutions and standardization

• Not a continuous activity - each working group identifies a specific goal or product that will be developed Typically an AIAA Standard, Guide, Recommended Practice, or Special

Project Report• Anticipate each working group to exist for 4-10 years• Must be chaired by GTTC member• Membership includes both GTTC and non-GTTC and non-AIAA• Meetings held to coincide with GTTC meetings• “Lessons Learned” developed to provide “How To” guidelines for new working

groups

GTTC Working Groups

14


• Wind Tunnel Flow Quality Chair: Ben Mills – AEDC/Aerospace Testing Alliance Objectives: Develop best practices and/or standards on the measurement and

reporting of unsteady or fluctuating flow parameters related to wind tunnel testing Status:

– Draft reviews– Finalizing document

• Model Attitude and Deformation Chair: Bob Guyton – USAF/AFRL Objectives: Develop a recommended practice AIAA document that discusses

methods to measure model attitude and/or deformation in wind tunnel testing Status:

– Document taking shape– Updating draft write-ups

GTTC Working Groups

15


• Internal Balance Technology Chair: Ray Rhew – NASA Langley Objectives:

– Review the recommended math model or calibration matrix (6x96); Provide guidance/ formulas, on selecting the appropriate subset matrix

– Investigate uncertainty estimate calculations to provide better estimates of the balance calibration uncertainty

– Provide recommendations for thermal effects on balance performance.– Investigate and provide recommendations on how to include pressure effects.– Develop metrics for evaluating a balance’s condition.– Review the current axis system and determine if it is appropriate to shift to an

international standard.– Provide recommendations on wind tunnel check loads.

Status:– Draft sections have been developed for 3 objectives

GTTC Working Groups

16


• Dual Flow Reference Nozzle Chair: David Myren – ASE FluiDyne Objectives: Develop a recommended practice AIAA document for defining a

“standard” configuration for dual flow reference nozzles– Dual Separate Flow– Dual Mixed Flow

Status:– Very active WG; regular telecom meetings between conferences– Work product in development

GTTC Working Groups

17


• Measurement Uncertainty Chair: Christi Pastor-Barsi – Sierra Lobo/NASA Glenn Objectives: Assess and evaluate AIAA G-045-2003 and AIAA S-071A-1999 to

determine if they need to be modified to align more with current national and international standards (ASME and ISO), pertaining to wind tunnel measurement uncertainty.

Status: First full meeting in January 2015; excellent membership; discussed background, technical needs, goals, actions

GTTC Working Groups

18


• Future of Ground Testing Chair: Steven Dunn – Jacobs/NASA Langley Issue: There is a need to define the integrated S&T and DT&E capabilities required to

support the nation’s needs through/beyond the year 2030 and to ensure that national stakeholders and decision makers understand how this works and why it is important.

Objectives:– WG team to develop GT meta-analysis based on major publications assessing the GT

environment; product will be one or more conference papers.– In parallel, assemble joint team to organize the approach for producing an assessment

report of integrated EFD and CFD requirements and recommendations across the RDT&E life cycle.

– AIAA cross-cutting team to develop information advocacy briefing for non-engineers based on foundational info from the integrated assessment report

Status:– GT meta-analysis and document/writing ongoing– Developed initial framework for integrated EFD/CFD assessment

Historically Strong GTTC Relationships With Other TC’s

Closing Remarks

• Provided a very brief overview of the AIAA and the GTTC• The GTTC and SATA and STAI share many common areas of interest• Consider involvement in AIAA in your specialty areas of interest• Consider participating in the AIAA SciTech Forum 2016 at the

Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, January 4-8 2016 • Consider involvement in the GTTC and the GTTC working groups• Thank you for this opportunity to speak with you!
