Before anything leaves ground though, these machines are tested in wind tunnels. [Scott Manley]’s video “How Hypersonic Wind Tunnels Recreate Mach 20” (embedded below) does a wonderful job ...

The H2K of the DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology in Cologne is a wind tunnel with a free-jet test section. The facility enables aerodynamic and aerothermal characterisation for scale ...

Typically, when we talk about wind tunnels, we think of the big facilities in use by the aerospace and motorsports industries. However, there’s nothing stopping you building a wind tunnel of ...

The basic research wind tunnel at Western Michigan University's applied aerodynamics laboratory is shown schematically in Figure 1. It was donated by General Motors. This tunnel will be set up as long ...

Here in the UK, the only available wind tunnel is in the Midlands at Horiba MIRA and as well as dating back to the ’60s it doesn’t feature a moving road. For UK vehicle manufacturers and race ...

The aeroacoustic wind tunnel at the University of Bristol is a unique facility, with a National Wind Tunnel status and heavily used for academic and industrial projects. The facility was designed by ...

We took 11 road bikes, including the S-Works Tarmac SL8, new Trek Madone, Cervélo S5, Giant Propel, Pinarello Dogma F, Van Rysel RCR Pro, Canyon Aeroad CFR and more to a wind tunnel to see which ...

Wind tunnels are devices that provide invaluable insights into aerodynamics. They are carefully designed and built environments, mirroring the physics of the natural world, in which air flows can be ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo will receive a $475,000 federal grant to purchase equipment that supports wind tunnel research into hurricanes, thunderstorm downbursts and other extreme ...

The low turbulence wind tunnel (A3) is a closed section wind tunnel and is designed to provide a highly uniform and low turbulence flow. The A3 wind tunnel was designed and built by Dr R. V. Barrett* ...

But they don't tell the whole tale. Neither do wind tunnels for that matter, as even air traveling upwards of 200 MPH doesn't accurately reflect real world conditions. Enter Haas CNC Racing.

Months of testing go into the development of each race car — and wind-tunnel testing is critical in this process. "Wind-tunnel testing is simply the most important development tool you have ...
