Wind tunnel facilities provide the equipment and expertise to develop and conduct tests used to characterize the aerodynamic and propulsion parameters of aircraft and vehicles. The S10 wind tunnel ...

Wind-tunnel testing is crucial for Formula 1 teams to study and optimize a car's aerodynamics. Aerodynamics have become vital as regulations have emphasized downforce and airflow. This article is part ...

The eXtra Performance Wing project, launched last September, takes inspiration from nature to improve wing aerodynamics and performance that is intended to be compatible with any future aircraft ...

Despite advances in computational fluid dynamics modeling, physical testing of cars in wind tunnels remains valuable for carmakers. That's why Mercedes opened the Sindelfingen wind tunnel in 2013, and ...

Before jets and other aircraft are cleared to soar across the sky, some of their test models go through Florida State University's Polysonic Wind Tunnel. “Anything that flies needs to be tested on ...

Wonder no moreYou hear the advice all the time from the "know-it-alls" in racing (yes, that applies to us, too): No matter how small your track or how slow your car, good aerodynamic practices can ...

This disruptive architecture, a key pillar of the CFM RISE technology demonstration program (1), is currently the most promising in terms of reducing the environmental footprint of aviation. The Open ...

A tip of the hat to the editor over at Dailysportscar this morning for reminding me of one of the cooler bits of industrial repurposing in the automotive world. It’s a Victorian railway tunnel in ...

Wind tunnels are a mainstay in automotive engineering, but what if instead of simulating the car moving down the road, you could drive it down the road? That’s the purpose of the new Catesby Tunnel in ...

The “What’s Inside? Family” YouTube channel, which started out by opening things up and seeing what was inside, has become something of an automotive channel. It covers all things Tesla and has a ...

We took 11 road bikes, including the S-Works Tarmac SL8, new Trek Madone, Cervélo S5, Giant Propel, Pinarello Dogma F, Van Rysel RCR Pro, Canyon Aeroad CFR and more to a wind tunnel to see which was ...
