The inability of wind 'tunnels to match flight conditions for large test articles and the high cost and exact position determination difficulties associated with flight tests has led to the use of a high speed track for aerodynamic testing. These tests included (1) determining the aeroelastic response of a production wing under high conditions, (2) the aerodynamic effects due to the presence of a large plume, and more recently, (3) the flow field character in the near and far wake of a thrusting rocket. The development of these testing techniques as well as test results will be discussed. (Buehn)
