This is the first part of a report for "A New Running Test Facility for the Study of Flight Dynamics". The facility may be used to evaluate the aerodynamic and/or flight dynamic characteristics of a model of aircraft or, specifically, V/STOL aircraft loaded on a carriage which can move on a track by the maximum speed of ten meters per second. If the model is fixed on the moving carriage low speed aerodynamic characteristics of the model may be obtained by using the internal balance systems installed in the model with similar treatment as well known in the wind tunnel excepting that the model is running instead of flowing the air. If the model is supported on "A New Free Flight System", which can be carried on the carriage, as to be able to fly the model freely for specified directions in any given degrees of freedom, then the flight dynamic characteristics of the model may be evaluated by analyzing the data of the model trajectory which are recorded during the test run. The present report includes the detailed description of the design philosophy, simple explanation of the structural outline and arrangement of the equipments, and the test results for the mechanical performance of the facility.
