**6. Recommendations for future activities**

It is interesting to examine more in depth some aspects of this study such as the impact of shape and dimensional variation. To do this, it is useful to perform simulations at more angle of attacks and to apply greater length alterations. It is possible to do this remaining in the original constraints for the scale 1:80 where they are less severe.

Furthermore, for a more in-depth analysis, it is necessary to perform CFD test of supports with the completed sustaining mechanism. This is useful especially for the straight sting (scale 1:80) where testing only the last part of the support is not possible to clarify the interference variations with the length. Therefore, it will be possible also to understand better the influence of the Reynolds number on the length.

Another critical point is to research a solution to decrease the interferences on the pitching moment. To permit this in scale 1:80, there is the possibility to position the sting higher on the SOAR rear surface. This should reduce the flow blockage over the flaps. It is more difficult to realize the same in scale 1:180 (especially for the elliptic sting) for the higher ratio dsDalready existent.

Finally, it is also interesting to estimate the accuracy and the usefulness of the new correction methods purpose in Section 4.4.
