The stamina of humans before wind is stronger than 700km / h

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

According to CNET, the 2.4-meter high wind tunnel is equipped with a 36-wing fan located in NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia, USA. In the documentary recording of the experiment here in 1946, the researcher sat on a chair and smiled before starting.

People can withstand winds up to 735km / h without any serious injury.

Scientists volunteer for 58km / h winds in 5 minutes. After that, the wind increases with time. The clothes on the subject of the study began to flutter and his cheeks vibrated when the wind strength reached 265km / h. But this speed is still below the 280km / h winds of Hurricane Katrina, one of the heaviest storms ever swept across the United States.

Human discovery research can really withstand wind 735km / h without serious injury except face pain. In another study that took place in 1954, John Stapp, a US Air Force officer, did not suffer any injuries after driving a helicopter in a strong wind of 917km / h.

The wind tunnel is the place to conduct aerodynamic research to understand the impact of air on hard objects or people. According to NASA, the Langley Research Center wind tunnel went into operation after three years of construction at a cost of $ 266,000.
