Description of a specially constructed one component transducer for measuring the rolling moment on the missile model is given in this paper. The range of measurement of this transducer is 1 Nm and the accuracy is 0.02 %. This accuracy is ten times bigger than the accuracy of the strain gauge balances which is in use. During this experiment, this one component transducer has shown as very reliable measurement element, which will be in use in laboratories of experimental aerodynamics.
Key words: wind tunnel, one component transducer, missile model, rolling moment, experimental aerodynamics.
