Wind tunnel tests and flight tests on a business aircraft are compared. The direct method involves comparing the unitary curves obtained from the two tests, whereas the indirect method consists of establishing from the wind tunnel tests a basic set of adjusted parameters that are converted into the same time based parameters recorded on flight test tapes, using flight mechanics equations and a simulation program. Results of longitudinal and lateral tests are discussed. (Author)
