High-speed wind tunnels are more than just testing facilities—they are the truth.

A hard truth, however, sometimes more difficult to interpret than actual in-flight data. Wind tunnel testing is the art of partial testing and a delicate balance of approximation and precision. Yet, it remains the cornerstone of aeronautical progress, from the Wright brothers' first flights to the groundbreaking achievements of the X-15.
