Thrust is the forced generated by an object, such as an engine, under test. Wind tunnel testing services use four basic types of wind tunnels: subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic. Subsonic ...

The wind tunnel has a test section with variable duct height and allows inflow ... the upper and lower bypass ducts and the operation of the transonic upper end wall. The suction system is also used ...

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

Supersonic wind tunnels are rather simple (though ... it passes through the experimental chamber in a smooth, even stream. “Transonic” tunnels (close to the speed of sound) are much more ...

A 101MW drive at Nasa’s National Transonic Facility wind tunnel has been upgraded ... It has been used, among many other ...

does a wonderful job of explaining the engineering behind wind tunnels for testing hypersonic vehicles. While the earliest wind tunnels such as that used by the Wright Brothers were powered by ...

NASA tested a 1.2% scale model of the Super Heavy rocket in the transonic Unitary Plan Wind ... The successful wind tunnel testing marks a significant milestone in the development of the Super ...

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 ...

Ferrari team principal believes some teams may be tempted to write off next year to gain extra wind tunnel time for 2026 ...

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 ...

The transonic cascade wind tunnel (TGK) is installed at the Institute of Propulsion ... is also unique due to its extremely stable test conditions, especially at the speed of sound. Among other things ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a common tool used in conjunction or in place of wind tunnel testing. CFD can simulate aerodynamic conditions. Often a model is tested and then used to verify and ...
