The basic aerodynamic studies of the Ariane launcher and their impact on the course of the experiments are presented emphasizing the relationship between the aerodynamic analysis and a launch vehicle project. The main test results and an analysis of their implications on the design and performance of the vehicle are reviewed. Some aerodynamic phenomena of special relevance to a launch vehicle, the experimental study of which, in the Ariane context, involved the use of new techniques, are also described.
