Hi Everyone!
So there has been trending news regarding supersonic flight & hypersonic weapons which are already developed by Russia and China. There has also been information flowing around that the US is lagging in hypersonic technology and needs to catch up. Don't even bother mentioning Canada. I am lost for words that we don't even have our own rocket program yet.
With this all new talk about hypersonic weapons and aircraft, there is no better time to release my new video on how a supersonic wind tunnel works. This type of wind tunnel is used extensively to test supersonic and high speed aircraft / rockets / missiles etc. I go into full scientific detail of how such a tunnel works.
As we progress forward, supersonic flight will inevitably become a reality as new aircraft manufacturers (startups) (Boom.Aero, Spike Aerospace, Aerion Corporation, Lockheed QueSST (Quiet Supersonic Transport)) are independantly developing their supersonic aircraft which can fly up to Mach 2+. Hence, supersonic wind tunnels will also have to be designed to support the development of these aircraft.
This video is an extension of my Rocket Engine Nozzle series as supersonic wind tunnels are simply two rocket nozzles connected back to back with a test section in between! Check it out!
