Abstract:

This report presents the results of wind tunnel tests conducted on three different radome configurations mounted atop three different airport tower designs. The wind tunnel tests were conducted on 1/12th scale models. Field tests were conducted on one full-scale radome and tower configuration and the data compared with the wind tunnel data. The data are useful for comparing the airloads transmitted into an airport-tower roof by the various radomes and for evaluating the effects tower geometry can have on these airloads.
