A wind tunnel model was specifically designed for investigating wing-propeller aerodynamic interactions of eVTOL aircraft including vectored thrust mechanisms. This work describes the model and offers time-resolved load and pressure data, as well as PIV images of the wake, for wing-propeller configurations considering various propeller tilt angles between 0 and 90 degrees.
