Had a discussion last week about testing things with scale models. I know the model aircraft people can build exact replicas and they will fly, but what things work 1:1 at scale and what things don't. Particularly curious about allowances for or not considering viscosity of air - as that is one thing I can't imagine scaling???? Concern is regarding wind tunnels, not just the models within.
