Tests Conducted in the AEDC 16-ft Transonic Tunnel on a 0.0226-Scale Model of the C-5A Aircraft for Data Correlation between Three Transonic Wind Tunnels

Abstract

Tests were conducted on two configurations of a 0.0226-scale model of the C-5A aircraft for the purpose of data correlation with other major transonic test facilities. The results reported herein were obtained at Mach numbers from 0.600 to 0.825 and Reynolds numbers from 2.1 million to 4.2 million and represent the AEDC contribution to the correlation study.
