In the frame of the European programme Clean Sky 2, a specific activity is dedicated to the validation of scaled flight testing as a viable test mean to derisk new technologies or configurations. The work is divided into a theoretical stream to investigate similarity and an experimental one relying on flights with a demonstrator similar to a known reference aircraft.
