Abstract: A system for planning and supporting a testing routine in a fluidic chamber, such as a wind tunnel, including a controller for downloading first data related to one or more fluidic chambers, the first data including cost and run-time information for each of the one or more fluidic chambers, comparing the first data to second data corresponding to predetermined constraints, determining one or more run plans based upon the comparison, selecting an optimized run plan from the one or more run plans according to cost and time constraints, and displaying the optimized run plan. Thereafter, when obtaining substantially real-time data during an aerodynamic test, the controller compares the test data to one or more predetermined threshold values, determines whether the test data corresponds with the one or more predetermined threshold values during a corresponding test, and informs of the result of the determination during the test so that a run can be repeated if necessary during the test.
