NASA Common Research Model Aerodynamic Cases
Provider：NASA Langley Research Center
The NASA CRM is the standard public aerodynamics benchmark: wing-body geometry and meshes with wind-tunnel data for CFD and surrogate validation.
At a glance
- Readiness
- L2 · Semantic & material ready
- Rationale
- Engineering L2: standard wing-body geometry, meshes and wind-tunnel data are provided; operating conditions must be set per case documentation, hence L2.
- Scale
- Wing-body geometry, meshes and wind-tunnel data (The NASA CRM is a public aerodynamics benchmark with geometry, meshes and experimental data; checked 2026-10-24.)
- License
- Proprietary but free — NASA public material; usage follows NASA terms and applicable export regulations.

Why it is listed
The Common Research Model is the reference configuration for transonic aerodynamics validation, with geometry, grids and wind-tunnel measurements released publicly.
Readiness assessment
It is the natural ground truth when validating a CFD setup or training an aerodynamic surrogate.
Practical notes
Operating conditions are defined by the case documentation rather than baked into the asset, which is why this entry is L2 rather than L3.
