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 upgraded wind tunnel will be able to measure and reduce ... mimicking on-road travel conditions. This realistic simulation allows for more precise testing and aerodynamic improvements.
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 ...
