Cryogenic, high-Reynolds number testing has been in use for approximately 40 years. This reliable testing capability is used to more closely predict full-scale flight aerodynamics for improved accuracy in estimates of aircraft performance, stability, and loads. A technical course has been created to educate industry, institutional, and research professionals in the overview of cryogenic, high-Reynolds number testing and its impact, the availability and accessibility of cryogenic testing and considerations in test planning and execution, and the discussion of other in-depth technical topics. This particular presentation supports a section of model preparation, tunnel operations, and model access procedures that are unique to cryogenic wind-tunnel testing.
