The Wind Tunnel

A wind tunnel is a research facility used to study how air flows around objects, such as cars, airplanes, or buildings. In a wind tunnel, models of these objects are placed in a controlled environment where air is blown over them at various speeds. This allows engineers and scientists to observe aerodynamic forces, test designs, and improve performance. Wind tunnels help ensure safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in various applications, from vehicle design to aerospace engineering, by providing valuable data on how objects behave in real-world conditions.
