wind tunnel

Winds on Earth can reach incredible speeds, from powerful natural gusts to supersonic winds created in laboratories.

Wind tunnels have become a mainstay in the aerospace industry, helping to test the aerodynamics of countless aircraft and rockets.

US researchers use tunnels for wind speeds of up to 735km / h to learn the stamina of tissues and muscles on the human body.

China says it is building a wind tunnel capable of simulating flights moving 25 times faster than the speed of sound.
