Complete description of all forces acting on a flying Beach Volleyball was made based on measurements in the wind tunnel. Forces (drag, lift and side force) were measured for different angle of attack β which varies from 0° to 47°. Velocity region was from 10 to 25 m/s and revolution region was from 0 to 12.5 rps. Moments (Roll, Yaw, Pitch) were detected. Results are described by means of non-dimensional numbers, such as Reynolds number Re, spin s, drag CD, lift CL and side force CS coefficients. Differences in results of CD, CL and CS were detected for various angle β and are further described in the article. Conclusions of the investigation can be utilized 1st by ball producers for practical use in development, 2nd for sport Methodist to build more exact methodology for Beach Volleyball, 3rd in basic and applied aerodynamic research.
