Following a summary of the methods used to establish aerodynamic data and propulsion data, a comparison was made in the form of the drag (or thrust) difference between flight results and predictions made on the basis of these data. Certain hypothesis and improvements on aerodynamic data were presented in order to explain the slight deficit found on Airbus and Concorde.
