Bookmark or Share- Beginner's Guide to Wind Tunnels - NASAA wind tunnel is a machine which can simulate the movement of air around an aircraft in flight. In the wind tunnel, the aeronautical engineer can control the conditions that effect the forces and motion of the aircraft.
- Wind tunnel - WikipediaWind tunnels are machines where an object is held stationary inside a tube, and air is blown around it to study the interaction between the object and the moving air.
- What Are Wind Tunnels? (Grades K-4) - NASAWind tunnels are large tubes with air moving inside. The tunnels are used to copy the actions of an object in flight. Researchers use wind tunnels to learn more about how an aircraft will fly. NASA uses wind tunnels to test scale models of aircraft and spacecraft.
- How Wind Tunnels Work | HowStuffWorksKey Takeaways. From aircraft and cars to industrial and consumer products, wind tunnels are crucial for testing the aerodynamics of various objects, allowing for improvements in safety, efficiency and performance. These large, hollow tubes create controlled wind conditions to study objects' behavior in airflow.
- Wind Tunnel | Glenn Research Center | NASAWind Tunnel. At the end of 1901, the Wright brothers were frustrated by the flight tests of their 1900 and 1901 gliders. The aircraft were flown frequently up to 300 feet in a single glide. But neither aircraft performed as well as predicted using the design methods available to the brothers.
