An Engineering Evaluation of the AFATL Five-Percent-Scale Wind Tunnel Model of the F-4 Aircraft.

Abstract

Wind tunnel evaluation tests were conducted with a five-percent-scale wind tunnel model of the F-4C/D/E aircraft to determine how well the model represents the aerodynamic characteristics of the full scale aircraft. The tests simulated flight from Mach 0.5 to 1.3 with aircraft angles of attack from -4 to +15 degrees. Force and moment coefficients and incremental drag data obtained with this model were in excellent agreement with data presented by the aircraft manufacturer. (Author)
