Which of these is NOT a recognised way of dealing with model support interference?

  • A.Using a magnetic suspension system instead of a sting
  • B.Correcting the base pressure measurement
  • C.Ignoring it, since the sting lies downstream of the model
  • D.Repeating the run with a dummy support fitted

Answer: C

The sting may lie downstream but its influence propagates forward through the subsonic base region and alters the near wake, so it cannot be ignored. The other three are all genuine approaches, magnetic suspension being the most elegant and the most expensive.
