The test itself produced a large collection of
force and moment data, on-body pressure data, and
off-body flow field measurements that will be used to
refine the configuration and strengthen design tools.
Northrop Grumman has built an aerodynamic

overcome will provide a level of cruise efficiency
when combined with STOL performance previously
not obtained. Finally, given the comprehensiveness
of the test data, particularly as it relates to a specific three dimensional air vehicle configuration, will aidthe CFD developmental efforts for high-lift wings with advanced circulation-control technologies
