An airplane of overall length 55ft is designed to fly at


An airplane, of overall length 55ft, is designed to fly at 680m/s at 8000-m standard altitude. A one-thirtieth-scale model is to be tested in a pressurized helium wind tunnel at 20 degrees Celsius. What is the appropriate tunnel pressure in atm? Even at this (high pressure), exact dynamic similarity is not achieved. Why?
