Measurements of Aerodynamic Loads on a Model of a Selected Fighter Aircraft

The paper presents the process of preparing an aircraft model and conducting wind tunnel tests. The testing focused on the FA-50, a lightweight, two-seater, multi-role combat aircraft. The article describes the stages of design in a CAD environment as well as manufacturing of the model, using 3D printing with FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology. The analysis was based on wind tunnel results, which provided key information on the aerodynamic properties of the model. The paper concludes with conclusions and a summary, which evaluates the entire research process and highlights the significance of the obtained results.
