Correlation is defined in three different ways: comparisons of wind tunnel and/or theory with flight results; detailed studies of total vehicle drag from wind tunnel and flight tests; and attempts to understand the fundamental mechanisms of fluid flows associated with aircraft components in specific areas of the flight environment. The F-16E configuration is an outgrowth of studies conducted to produce a refined fighter wing design. Several iterations required to arrive at the combination of wing planform, camber, and twist which gives near optimum lift, drag, and high-angle-of-attack stability. Theoretical analyses were backed up by extensive experimental data to validate the design and are presented
