Annotation: There are described the methods of conducting experimental aerodynamic researches of the model of a coverage convex and concave shell with a large cutout on an elliptic plan. The coverage (columns) vertical bearing structures were made in 2 variants: either without an enclosure or with an enclosure. The main purpose of testing the coverage model in a wind channel is to increase knowledge about a wind load influence on the structure under study, the values of the aerodynamic coefficients obtained being used when designing membrane coverings above stadium stands. Similar researches were repeatedly conducted by scientists in many countries. To carry out the tests the models of coverage were made on a scale 1:500. There are described the models of covering a stadium, the analysis of experimental researches for convex and concave shells has been done. There are given the plots of pressure coefficient changing on a shell lower and upper face.

Keywords: experimental aerodynamic researches, a coverage shell model, methods of aerodynamic testing, coefficient of pressure.
