  • Engine simulator for wind tunnel models, method for manufacturing a heater coating on a flow-type body and use of a coating with a conductivity additive on a flow-type body
    Patent number: 8806929
    Abstract: An engine simulator for wind tunnel models exhibits a turbine with an inlet for a pressurized fluid and an outlet for a relieved fluid, a flow-type body arranged downstream from the turbine, a jacket that at least partially envelops the flow-type body with the formation of a gap, and at least two electrodes. A downstream end of the flow-type body is provided with a heater coating comprised of a matrix material that contains a conductivity additive and is connected with the electrodes for applying an electrical voltage. This may make it possible to prevent ice formation on the trailing edge of the flow-type body.
