Under the auspices of GARTEUR, an international research program was carried out to improve design methods for three dimensional configurations and to increase confidence in experimental data. The selected configuration was the DFVLR-F4 wing body incorporating a high aspect ratio supercritical wing and an Airbus-type fuselage. For the experimental part of the exercise, a single model was tested in the major European wind tunnels: NLR's HST, ONERA's S2MA and RAE's 8X8 ft. The transonic test, conducted according to an agreed-upon test program, consisted mainly of global force and moment measurements and measurement of pressure distributions on the wing and fuselage. The results, provided by each of the participants using his own methods, were analyzed and compared.
