Description:
Wind tunnel/flight correlation history from the P-51 to the F-8 supercritical wing is reviewed, showing that researchers continue to be faced with nearly identical discrepancies in predicted versus measured drag. The capabilities of the National Transonic Facility to allow assessment of the effects which have heretofore plagued researchers and aircraft designers are anticipated.
