Wind Tunnels. A detailed approach to analysing and comparing wind tunnel theory : Grin Verlag : 9783346707925 : 334670792X : 28 Jul 2022 : Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, grade: A, course: Aerospace Technology II, language: English, abstract: Wind tunnels are a great way of obtaining precise and accurate data on an aerofoil or model aircraft. They are crucial because they help engineers save a lot on resources; rather than having to make a full prototype by "winging it", as they say, with a wind tunnel, it is possible to test a collection of low-cost models prior to the prototyping stage in order to find the best configuration for a design. As such, this assignment will cover the operation of wind tunnels from multiple points of view, looking at the various uses of a wind tunnel both from theoretical and practical points of view.
