A Rapid Aero Modeling program and process may be applied to computational experiments such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) programs to obtain aerodynamic models which may be in the form of polynomial equations. The program and process may be utilized to estimate (develop) aerodynamic models appropriate for flight dynamics studies, simulations, and the like. Feedback loops are provided around computational codes to rapidly guide testing toward aerodynamic models that meet user-defined fidelity criteria. A user has the freedom to choose a specific level of fidelity in terms of prediction error, in advance of a CFD test (computation).

An insulating concrete form with two opposing panels, each panel having on each end thereof both a tongue and a groove for interconnecting with a similar form, the tongues and grooves positioned such that a similar form may be reversibly positioned and still interconnected, the opposing panels on each form joined by a plurality of metal wire ties with both horizontal and vertical members, preferably welded one to another, with each horizontal wire bent to form a right angle on each end with a metal attachment strip disposed within such right angle.
