Question: A one-tenth-scale model of a supersonic wing tested at 700 m/s in air at 20C and 1 atm shows a pitching moment of 0.25 kNm.

A one-tenth-scale model of a supersonic wing tested at 700 m/s in air at 20°C and 1 atm shows a pitching moment of 0.25 kN•m. If Reynolds-number effects are negligible, what will the pitching moment of the prototype wing be flying at the same Mach number at 8-km standard altitude?
