Keywords: support and wall interference, propeller simulation, stability and control

For a large low-speed model equipped with four turbine powered propellers DNW developed special methods to correct the wind tunnel data on-line during angles of incidence and yaw measurements for the thrust dependent interference effects of the model upports and of the test section walls on the aerodynamic coefficients.
