Seattle-based Outbound Aerospace has put a prototype aircraft through its first test flight after raising $1.15 million in ...

By performing virtual wind tunnel testing earlier in the design process, Rune Aero reduces future technical risk and costs.

Boeing and NASA have completed two initial wind-tunnel tests using small-scale models ... model” – meaning a model of one side of the aircraft, as if it had been cut in half lengthwise.

Since an aircraft can’t reach those speeds with a propeller, it follows that a wind tunnel cannot be driven by propellers, fans, or any such device, and exceed Mach 1 wind speed, either.

Focus: Aviation, aircraft noise reduction Aircraft noise affects millions ... By combining this data with wind tunnel tests and computer simulations, researchers were able to validate their findings ...
