<p>Acquisition phase zero (Concept Exploration) of the Advanced Short Takeoff/ Vertical Land (ASTOVL) aircraft development includes, among other tests, evaluation of forces and moments on a large-scale powered model (LSPM) suspended in the Outdoor Aerodynamic Research Facility (OARF) at the NASA Ames Research Center.

Non-coincident measurements were made to determine the three component mean velocities at points in the region of interest and the component mean and composite mean velocities compared for configurationswithstrutspresentandstrutsremoved.
