'Quiet' Mach 6 Wind Tunnel At Purdue Helps Shape Future Aircraft
West Lafayette IN (SPX) Jan 06, 2006
Purdue University engineers have developed a wind tunnel that is the only one of its kind in the world capable of running quietly at "hypersonic" speeds, helping researchers to design advanced aircraft and missiles. No other wind tunnel runs quietly while conducting experiments in airstreams traveling at Mach 6 - six times the speed of sound, said Steven Schneider, an aerospace engineer and professor inPurdue's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
