THE wind tunnel, through the use of models, offers a convenient means of investigating the aerodynamic characteristics of various parts of the aeroplane, individually or as a unit, and results obtained in it are generally applicable, within the limits of engineering precision, for the purpose of estimating full-scale performance. It is believed that the results of control surface tests on models may be taken to represent full-scale conditions with approximately the same degree of precision.
