A 10%-scale high-lift version of the Common Research Model (CRM-HL) was tested in the 14- by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel at the NASA Langley Research Center. This research was aimed at providing a representative reference case for comparison with an Active Flow Control (AFC) enabled version of the CRM-HL and to increase the existing experimental database for CFD high-lift prediction. The test was conducted mostly at a freestream Mach number of 0.20. The effects of the engine nacelle, nacelle chine, tufts, small variations in Mach number, hysteresis-associated increasing/decreasing angle of attack, and incoming floor boundary-layer thickness (i.e., thinning by activation of the floor boundary layer removal system) were examined. A prestall lift performance degradation for the CRM-HL configuration was resolved with a properly placed nacelle chine. Surface pressure results are presented in detail for three key variants of CRM-HL — baseline (nacelle on), nacelle off, and nacelle with the most effective chine installation. The presented aerodynamic forces and surface pressures include both with and without the wall correction using the Transonic Wall Interference Correction System (TWICS) method. A limited set of photogrammetry results is also presented to document the model deformation under test conditions.
