Aerodynamic Test Techniques 660464

Contained in this paper are detailed explanations and criticisms of aerodynamic tests conducted for the automotive industry. Using 1/10, 3/8, and full scale vehicles, tests were conducted for aerodynamic drag and lift, stability and control, pressure distribution, and flow visualization. Tests were conducted in wind tunnels and on the road. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed and explained at length.
