Pressure-sensitive Paint - Advantages

Advantages

  • The greatest advantage of the new technology is its much reduced preparation time compared to installing an array of pressure taps.
  • The same model can be used for other testing, such as load-bearing tests or radar-reflection tests, since the PSP will not interfere with other preparations or setups.
  • There are far more data points than other methods. There is essentially a "pressure tap" at every pixel instead of being limited to the actual pressure taps.
