Operations in experimental aerodynamics, primarily based on wind tunnel testing, which formed a large part of FFA activities both before and immediately after the incorporation of the FOI…
A NASA wake turbulence study at Wallops Island is portrayed, 1990. A vortex is created by passage of an aircraft wing, revealed by smoke. Vortices are one of the many phenomena associated with the study of aerodynamics.
A replica of the Wright brothers' wind tunnel is on display at the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton. Wind tunnels were key in the development and validation of the laws of aerodynamics.
