Extract

The use of models in the determination of aircraft behaviour is as old as flying itself, and wind tunnel models in particular have played a very important part. Now that supersonic flight of aircraft and missiles is a matter of common experience, it seems appropriate to look at some of the difficulties involved in the supersonic tunnel testing of models of such machines.
