Summary

This paper discusses some of the special problems of wind-tunnel testing which arise with high-lift jet-blowing models, supplementing earlier comments. Further detailed remarks are made about recent developments on tunnel-wall interference, test rigs and methods of minimising constraints from air-feeds to models, and on general test and model design techniques.
