Transonic wind tunnels are similar in design to subsonic wind tunnels, but can achieve speeds close to the speed of sound (Mach 1). The highest speed is achieved in the test section. Because transonic ...

High-speed wind tunnels are used to test objects at speeds close to or beyond the speed of sound. These tunnels require special design considerations to manage the shock waves that form at these ...

Characterizing the aerodynamic performance of a vehicle usually requires a wind ... into a test facility, opening in 2021. To measure the speed without the luxury of GPS reception, a high-speed ...

This is a closed-circuit, closed test section wind tunnel with a rectangular test section that is 711 mm wide and 507 mm high at the entry ... The fan is driven by a 18 kW Reliance Max Pak DC variable ...

ABB has upgraded a variable speed drive to extend the life of NASA’s National Transonic Facility (NTF) wind tunnel by at ...

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur believes some teams may be tempted to write off next year to gain extra wind tunnel time ...

Aston Martin and Red Bull are set to have new wind tunnels, but what kind of challenges will this present?

“Our test ecosystem consists of five key things. Firstly, there’s our ground resources, things like wind tunnels and ...

where they blow at a supersonic 1,100 mph (1,770 km/h), or 1.5 times the speed of sound, according to NASA. On Earth, human-built wind tunnels can create supersonic winds, defined as faster than ...

Intended for high school Design ... The desk-sized wind tunnel can then be instrumented with a manometer, tachometer, and anemometer to measure pressure, fan speed, and wind speed.
