DLR-F4 Wing-Body Configuration.

Kurzfassung

These tests have been carried out under the auspices of GARTEUR in order to provide an experimental data base for a modern commercial transport type aircraft against which results of various computational methods may be checked. The tests were carried out in three major European wind tunnels (NLR-HST, ONERA-S2MA, DRA-8ftx8ft DRA Bedford) in order to compare the results of the same model in different wind tunnels. For the purpose of these tests the available geometry of the DLR-F4 model of a wing body configuration, which was developed as a research configuration of a modern transport type aircraft, was selected by the GARTEUR Action Group AD (AG01) "Wing body aerodynamics at transonic speeds.
