In subsonic wind tunnels — the type you might see your ... But something peculiar happens when air goes supersonic: the phenomenon reverses. Supersonic air suddenly acts like cars in heavy ...

The 10- by 10-foot supersonic wind tunnel was the preeminent achievement in a post-war response to the V-2 rockets and high-speed fighters Germany had fielded in World War II. The 1949 Unitary ...

Data was collected during several hundred supersonic test runs in the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel at Langley of a scale model of the Block 1 Cargo vehicle that is the currently mandated booster for ...

Unlike the costly physical wind tunnels that were used in the 1960s to test Concorde throughout its development stages, Boom Supersonic has been able to make use of digital wind tunnels ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

This wind tunnel was designed by the inventor Professor Ludwieg at the Aerodynamic Research Institute in Göttingen (AVA) and has been running successfully since 1968. The RWG has two 80-metre-long ...

For decades, supersonic aircraft have been plagued by ... “We were getting smooth and steady airflow as predicted from wind ...

Boom Supersonic’s ambitions remain high ... Back in the 1960s, Concorde was developed in wind tunnels, which meant building costly physical models, running tests, then repeating.

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 trisonic wind tunnel generates experimental databases for validating computational methods and aerodynamic simulations across a broad Mach range, from subsonic – Mach 0.5 – through the transonic ...
