Wind Tunnels

Wind Tunnels


In this report I will talk about the wind tunnel. I will described what they
are used for. The different types of wind tunnels from the slow speed subsonic
to the high speed hypersonic tunnels. I will also give A few examples of the
wind tunnels used today.
The wind tunnel is a device used by many people, from High school students
to NASA engineers. The wind tunnel is a device used to test planes to see how
well it will do under certain conditions. The plane maybe as big as a full size
747 or as small as a match. To understand how a wind tunnel is used to help in
the designing process you have to know how a wind tunnel works.

How Wind Tunnels Work

A wind tunnel is a machine used to fly aircraft's, missiles, engines, and
rockets on the ground under pre-set conditions. With a wind tunnel you can chose
the air speed, pressure, altitude and temperature to name a few things. A wind
tunnel is usually has a tube like appearance with which wind is produced by......
