Boeing's Aurora Flight Sciences announced the completion of Phase I wind tunnel tests for the aircraft it develops for ...

Aurora, a Boeing company, has confirmed its high-speed vertical takeoff and landing concept has completed stability and ...

Aurora Flight Sciences has finished windtunnel testing an experimental fan-in-wing design for a Pentagon X-plane competition. The Boeing subsidiary says it recently wrapped up stability and ...

The final portion of the wind tunnel is the Drive Section that contains the fan. Having the fan at the end of the tunnel almost sounds counter-intuitive but doing so reduces turbulence of the ...

The transparent walls for observation are created out of acrylic, while a simple fan provides the necessary flow. The desk-sized wind tunnel can then be instrumented with a manometer, tachometer ...

The basic research wind tunnel at Western Michigan University's applied aerodynamics ... A Westinghouse Class III 1370 mm centrifugal-type fan with a side discharge is used to create the air flow. The ...

In the early days of flight, wind tunnels were as unsophisticated as the airplanes they tested. Put a box fan in a circuit of ductwork and you’ll have a pretty good representation of an early ...

It was only a few years ago that some of Formula 1’s brightest minds were predicting a future where wind tunnels were no longer needed. Think of the wasted expense powering a giant fan in a ...

The wind tunnel is a low-speed, closed-circuit single return ... The main drive power source is a 125 hp DC motor with a solid state SCR speed control. The 16-blade fan is 6 feet in diameter. Cooling ...
