Wind-Tunnel/Flight Comparison of the Levels of Buffeting Response Intensity for the TACT F-111.

Abstract

Under a UK/US collaboration programme, a wind-tunnel/flight correlation has been made of the levels of buffeting response intensity of the TACT F-111 aircraft. Using a technique which has been under development at RAE, wind-tunnel measurements of the buffeting response of a 1/8-scale half-model of conventional construction have been used to predict the response of the TACT aircraft under full-scale flight conditions. Comparison with flight measurements shows good agreement. (Author)
