Laminar-flow instrumentation for wind-tunnel and flight experiments

This article reports on selection, adaptation, and integration of advanced measuring techniques for laminar wing testing in wind-tunnel and flight experiments. The aim was to perform high quality experiments with results of sufficient detail and resolution which can be used for theoretical code development and verification as well as for design criteria of laminar wing concepts. Results from various wind-tunnel and flight tests fully support and confirm the quality and potential of the testing techniques employed.
