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 ...

Wind tunnel testing services provide test facilities and technical staff for aerodynamic testing. Tests may be performed on prototype aircraft, helicopters, trains, cars, or buildings. Wind tunnel ...

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 institute has a number of setups that permit experimental wind tunnel analysis of various model configurations with different motion forms to meet the needs of various issues within the field 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 ...

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 ...

Western Michigan University's applied aerodynamics laboratory took over the advanced design wind tunnel from the former McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company (now the Boeing Company at St. Louis) and had ...

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 ...

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 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* ...

Stellantis has invested $29.5 million to upgrade its testing wind tunnels to improve the range of its all-electric models. With any electric vehicle, aerodynamics play a major role in maximizing ...
