The Alpha was a triumph of empirical aerodynamics; the drag of the wing-fuselage combination was eventually reduced by half. The original wind tunnel model still exists; it is on display at the ...

Chief Vehicle Engineer Paul Burnham emphasized the need for greater aerodynamic efficiency, leading to extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and rigorous wind tunnel testing.

Construction of the Experimental Aerodynamics Laboratory on the University of Colorado Boulder's East campus was completed in November of 2015. The Low-Speed Research Wind Tunnel was installed in ...

The testing, which took place at the Human-Flow Interactions Wind Tunnel at The University of Manchester, in partnership with ...

The wind tunnel is equipped with a 6-DOF force balance system, which enables aerodynamic load measurements for a variety of large aero-components. The wind tunnel is also equipped with a unique gust ...

One specific area of research focuses on the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of natural laminar wings, also in wind-tunnel conditions. This involves considering the notable impacts of static ...

The trisonic wind tunnel at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology in Cologne is a blow-down wind tunnel. It is ...
