This paper describes a program of coastdown and wind tunnel tests conducted with the objective of establishing a correlation between the aerodynamic drag force measured at the Lockheed-Martin Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (LSWT) and that inferred from coastdown results on the test track. The result of this correlation establishes, in principle, the capability to project what the aerodynamic drag force inferred by a future coastdown test will be (for a future, as-yet unavailable property) based on a current database of wind tunnel results. The correlation is accompanied by a rigorous uncertainty analysis to assess the quality of the correlation and its supporting data.
