Assume that the speed of sound in the wind tunnel is one-half the speed of sound of the full-scale aircraft. To achieve dynamic similarity in the model test, what would the wind tunnel speed need to be in the model compared to the full-scale prototype? What would the kinematic viscosity of the wind tunnel fluid be compared to air?
