#Youracademy cadets are on “a new frontier” of hypersonic flight research through wind-tunnel testing in the Department of Aeronautics. Cadets perform hypersonic testing primarily in two high-speed wind tunnels: Hypersonic Mach 6 Ludwieg Tube - A 2-ft diameter, 100-foot long tunnel that can test up to six times the speed of sound, showing how hypersonic shapes warm from the high-speed flow Trisonic Wind Tunnel -A 1-ft diameter tunnel that tests aircraft and missile shapes at transonic and supersonic speeds Click link to read more about our Aero wind tunnels: tinyurl.com/425ujcs5 #research #innovation #leadersofcharacter #futurefight #warfighterscholars
