Foley Mfg. has supplied models for 10
different low speed wind tunnels. These include facilities at
Langley Research Center, Wright Labs, two foreign sites and four
different universities. We have developed great expertise in
producing lightweight, economical models for rotary balance,
force & moment and pressure testing.
Using a variety of materials including
composites, balsa, plywood and aluminum, our skilled model makers
thrive on the challenge of producing state of the art models. We
have experience in both the General Aviation and Military sectors
and have produced a range of products from a 1/10 scale pressure
tapped control surface, up to a full scale F-15 radome for
forebody flow modification tests.
Positionable control surfaces, removable
parts for component testing and multiple balance mount options
are normal features on most of our models. We also take great
care in proper shape and positioning of external stores if
required.
Below is a partial listing of previous
projects and customers. F-16 Built several models for different
test programs including inlet modification (MCID), conformal
tanks, avionics spine fairing, forebody flow modification and
blowing tests. F-15 Participated in project “Keep
Eagle”, building a 1/10 scale pressure model (approx. 700
pressure taps) for evaluation of the low speed, high alpha, stall
and spin analysis of the F-15E. This model was also used for
force and moment testing with different store loads. Also
produced a full scale forebody using non-airworthy radome and
adding sufficient length aft for a balance mount. This model was
used for forebody flow modification tests in the full scale
(30X60) tunnel at Langley. The radome contained approx. 300
pressure taps. FA-18 C/D Several models built including a
pressure version with approx. 700 taps. FA-18 E/F X-31 Samsung
