University of Maryland Wind Tunnel

The University of Maryland Wind Tunnel is a scientific facility used to study how objects, like aircraft or vehicles, behave in airflow. Engineers and researchers place models inside the tunnel, which simulates real-world wind conditions, allowing them to observe and measure forces such as drag and lift. This helps improve designs for safety, efficiency, and performance. The tunnel uses powerful fans to generate controlled airflow, and advanced sensors to collect data. It is a crucial tool for advancing aerospace engineering, automotive design, and other fields involving fluid dynamics.
