The results of a survey of the United States aerospace industry in late 1977 regarding what effect the prospective increased use of computer-aided prediction-design technology (CPD Tech) will have on wind-tunnel test requirements for aircraft development programs through 1995 are presented. Opinions were received from key spokesmen in 23 of the 25 solicited major companies or corporate divisions involved in the design and manufacture of nonrotary wing aircraft. Development programs for nine types of aircraft related to test phases and wind-tunnel size and speed range were addressed. Indications are that there will be an increasing use of CPD Tech in the aircraft development process. Nonetheless, overall only a modest reduction in wind-tunnel test requirements from the current level is expected. (DePo)
