Experimental References

Experimental data sets are available and much has been published by many organizations.

Common Research Model (CRM)

Data for the Common Research Model from the National Transonic Faciilty (NTF) and European Transonic Wind Tunnel (ETW) can be found in a data set search engine. An overview of these tests was presented at AVIATION 2023.

JAXA data can be downloaded from the JAXA site. Geometry is available on the geometry page.
