This paper presents the aerodynamic estimation carried out on a three-dimensional aircraft model by conducting wind tunnel tests and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. The test model is a 15% scaled down from a two-seater light aircraft that is closed to the Malaysian made SME MD3-160 a...
