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 ...
This realistic simulation allows for more precise testing ... and will gain from aerodynamic optimization. The upgraded wind tunnel also provides a valuable complement to virtual development ...
While recent simulations seemed to support Tesla’s claims, the best way to confirm Tesla's numbers is by testing a production Cybertruck in a wind tunnel. Independent test results are unlikely ...
The 22-year-old wind tunnel at the automaker's Auburn Hills ... "This tunnel has done a great job of allowing us to align our simulation to static results," he said. "But there's this whole ...
