Wind Tunnel
A wind tunnel is a specialized tool used to study how objects interact with airflow. It consists of a controlled environment where air is made to flow steadily around a model, such as an aircraft or vehicle. By observing this airflow, engineers can analyze factors like drag, lift, and stability, helping improve designs for safety and efficiency. Wind tunnels are essential in aerodynamics research, allowing testing without building full-scale prototypes, saving time and resources while providing accurate data on how objects perform in different wind conditions.
