Wind tunnel tests that are conducted during the course of a typical aircraft development program are considered. The objectives of a test program are to reduce technical and financial risk and to improve product performance. Typical fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft development programs are compared. It is concluded that existing wind tunnel practice is not adequate in relation to the consequences from serious problems remaining undetected until flight test. In fact, the ultimate goal of the wind tunnel test program should leave nothing for the flight test program but the demonstration of the final product.-
