The needs and reasons for performing full-scale subsonic research have been studied. Full-scale wind-tunnel requirements are described; recommended size, airspeed, acoustic capabilities, and flow quality are developed; and data-acquisition systems, productivity, automation, and some cost elements are discussed. It is proposed that the optimum full-scale, subsonic wind tunnel be large enough to accommodate aerodynamic and acoustic investigations on most advanced aircraft, which exhibit complex engine/lifting-surface flow-field interactions, including advanced rotorcraft.
