Completed in the 1940s, Ames’ first wind tunnels included several with supersonic testing capabilities and a gigantic complex to research full-scale aircraft designs. #NASAAmesWindThis tweet was posted on April 05, 2023.
Ames’ legacy includes developing the swept wing, testing numerous aircraft and spacecraft designs, and advancing our understanding of transonic, supersonic (above the speed of sound), and hypersonic (more than 5x the speed of sound) aerodynamics. #NASAAmesWindThis tweet was posted on April 05, 2023.
The wind tunnel testing and research of NASA’s Ames Research Center, located in the Naval Air Station Moffett Field in nearby Mountain View, has accomplished monumental achievements. #NASAAmesWind@NASAAmesThis tweet was posted on April 05, 2023.
