The problem of aerodynamic force measurements was dealt with. Multicomponent strain gaps were used in determining these forces. The measurement of wing and tailplane loads on a semimodel of the European Airbus A 300 B was reported. Interference effects of a slender wing-body configuration were experimentally determined. Hinge moments, rudder, and fin loads of a horizontal tail surface with a rudder were examined. The tail drag of an aircraft was determined in a transonic wind tunnel. Aerodynamic interference forces were analyzed by splitting up a model in several parts. Tail assemblies of missiles were investigated.
