Keywords: sst, wind tunnel test, aerodynamics, engine exhaust

Low speed wind tunnel tests were conducted on an SST model where engine mounted on upper fuselage. The aerodynamic interferences by the engine exhaust jet were investigated. The engine exhaust jet induces the increment of lift and of nose down pitching moment are induced.
