The use of sub-scales to study flight dynamics is an area that can provide excellent results. With the development of electronics, free flight tests to obtain flight dynamics data on sub-scale aircraft have become increasingly attractive. This paper presents the development of a sub-scale aircraft following the Froude number scaling technique used to achieve representativeness in flight dynamics.
