                                    We apply non-extensive methods to the statistical analysis of fully
developed turbulent flows. Probability density functions of velocity
differences at distance r obtained by extremizing the Tsallis entropies
coincide well with what is measured in turbulence experiments. We derive
a set of relations between the hyperflatness factors F_m and the
non-extensitivity parameter q, which can be used to directly extract the
function q(r) from experimentally measured structure functions. We
comment on various non-extensive methods to calculate the moment scaling
exponents zeta_m.
