2 Wind Tunnel Measured Performance parameters:

6.21 Key model performance parameters
This section will feature the data measured in the wind tunnel and
other aerodynamic data that was calculated from the data provided by
the wind tunnel. We calculated and plotted Coefficient of lift,
Coefficient of Drag Pitching Moment Coefficient, Side Force Coefficient
and Yaw Moment Coefficient vs. various other parameters that we set
such as angle of attack, velocity and yaw angle. Both the calculated
and set values can be used for future aircraft design studies and to
help determine performance parameters such as maneuvers, take-off,
cruise speeds and turning.
