For the experimental analysis of buffeting effects, a flexible modular wind tunnel model was developed. Quasi-rigid aluminum lifting surfaces serve as a reference case. An internal six-component balance measures forces and moments. The signals of unsteady pressure transducers and accerelometers integrated in the lifting surfaces of the rigid and the flexible configurations will be analyzed.
