Also had to leak check the pressures to determine which are good. I will get the results of the pressure continuity and leak checks and will use these results to plot the data. Actually Bryan from NASA Langley and Robin from Boeing will be doing a lot of the plotting. I have been busy getting things ready for the next configuration. I enjoy being involved in the full picture of the test.
Some people think that wind tunnel testing is boring.
I think that its because they don't know all the steps involved to make the data corrections and model changes. This is a big configuration change and requires two people to make the changes. The data looked a little strange compared to the data from the TCA-3 test. The drag polars, the lift vs. drag plots, looked about ten counts higher. I thought that it didn't seem right to get that big of difference from test to test.
