16-foot Transonic Wind Tunnel
A 16-foot transonic wind tunnel reveals the invisible shock waves shaping supersonic flight
1 hour ago
0
Why is the 16-foot transonic wind tunnel critical for aircraft design at near-sound speeds?
Because it is the only wind tunnel capable of reaching hypersonic speeds above Mach 5.
Because it allows testing of aerodynamic effects like shock waves that occur only near the speed of sound and cannot be accurately predicted by smaller or subsonic tunnels.
Because aerodynamic forces at transonic speeds are the same as at subsonic speeds, so any tunnel size works equally well.

Why is it important to design wings that delay or control stall in aircraft?
Because stall increases the speed of the aircraft, improving performance.
Because stall is beneficial and should be encouraged to reduce drag.
Because delaying or controlling stall ensures safer flight by preventing sudden loss of lift.

Sound Barrier
The sound barrier was once thought to be an unbreakable wall, but it became a gateway to supersonic flight.
9 days ago
0
What was the primary challenge aircraft faced when approaching the sound barrier, and how was it overcome?
A sudden increase in aerodynamic drag and instability was overcome by redesigning aircraft shapes and improving engines.
The sound barrier was a myth and posed no real challenge to aircraft speed.
Aircraft could easily pass the sound barrier without any changes in design or technology.

What role do boundary layers play in aerodynamic performance of an aircraft wing?
They influence the transition between smooth and turbulent airflow, affecting drag and lift.
They are the main source of lift generated by the wing.
They have no significant effect on airflow and can be ignored in design.

Wingtip vortices
The swirling air patterns behind wings reveal hidden forces shaping flight efficiency and safety
24 Jan 2026
0
Why do wingtip vortices form primarily near the wing tips rather than uniformly along the entire wing span?
Because the wing tips are the only parts of the wing that generate lift.
Because the pressure difference between the upper and lower wing surfaces causes air to flow around the wingtip, creating rotating air patterns concentrated there.
Because the engines at the wing tips create turbulence that forms vortices.
