Experimental results from the Integrated Systems Test of the upgraded National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex 40- by 80-ft wind tunnel located at NASA Ames Research Center, which took place in 1987, are compared with results obtained with a 1/50 scale model of the wind tunnel. Test-section flow characteristics, air-exchange performance, total pressure distributions, and wall-static pressure distributions obtained with the model- and full-scale facilities are compared. The 1/50-scale model data were used to predict qualitative performance trends of the full-scale facility during investigation of design changes. Despite large differences in scale and Reynolds number between the two tunnels, quantitative agreement between certain model and full-scale performance characteristics was quite good.
