On the basis of results of tests with a standard model in the T-38 wind-tunnel correlated with AEDC interference-free data it was concluded that, for a typical model of about 0.5%-0.6% blockage at a moderate range of angles of attack, T-38 transonic data can be considered to be practically interference-free.
