- Yes, it should get you an answer if you could find a tunnel that has a moving floor to account for the ground effect. I'd rely on timing slips for a higher- accuracy answer. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ

- There are a couple of wind tunnels with moving floors, the only problem is that (unless they've changed them) the floors only had a maximum capability of 150 mph while the fans could blow at 220+ mph

- Sorry -- I left out a bunch of words. How about a data aq., speed sensor and a good accelerometer? The coast down numbers should be fairly accurate is there isn't much wind. Bryan
