1/8 scale model of a shape similar to the Third Degree Burner in crosswind configuration. Tufts near the bubble show turbulent/separated flow, although complete separation would have the tufts flipped over each other. Tufts near the edge also show that in crosswinds the shape has uneven downward lift.

Here is an 1/8th scale shape being tested with tufts and exhibiting attached flow on the top. The fairings showed a need for redisign.
