Keywords: wind tunnel test, transition measurement, eN method, CFD, short bubble

The lift and transition characteristics of the ONERA-M5 transport configuration model were investigated experimentally and numerically. There is good agreement between measured transition location and our transition prediction on the wing and nose cone. As the Reynolds number increased, its maximum lift increased because of suppressing the short bubble burst.
