Abstract :
Results of wind tunnel tests on an experimental radar antenna are discussed. The torque required to rotate the antenna was seen to vary with the azimuth position, the elevation angle, the pivot location, the rotating speed, and the wind velocity. A correlation of the data based on dimensionless parameters was found.
