A relatively large test chamber, chosen to minimize room interference effects during helicopter hovering rotor tests, was found in initial operations to exhibit large, random variations of thrust, torque, and blade flapping. The source of these problems, unsteady recirculation of test chamber flow, was addressed by the addition of a 'flow straightener' that reduced these parameter variations to 1.5 percent of mean values. Rotor performance was then measured outside the chamber in calm, free air conditions and compared with chamber results obtained before and after modifications. Attention is given to wake flow visualization conducted in the test chamber, as well as outside.
