Fluid mechanics scaling is briefly reviewed and testing ship models at high Reynolds numbers in the National Transonic Facility is discussed. Particular attention is given to the 1986 body of revolution experiment, the expanded model capabilities for a future body of revolution experiment, major features of a future flat plate experiment, the proposed liquid helium tunnel from the user's point of view, and a comparison of the NTF and the Conceptual Helium Tunnel.
