Expansion dataset for the SAE Technical Paper 2018-01-0725, which includes:

- experimental results (Figures 10 to 18) in spreadsheet format.
- summary of experimental testing conditions per run.
- details of statistical analysis per blocking factor (i.e. group of testing cases).
- addition of corrected coefficients for wall interference (wind tunnel area blockage of 10.2%).
