Section I: General Information
Wind Tunnel Warriors: Show your skills!
This challenge explores the crucial role of wind tunnels in hypersonic research, challenging students to design, build, and demonstrate their own model wind tunnels while diving into the history and science of these incredible tools.


Section II: Description
Hypersonics research utilizes a variety of testing methods, including simulations, wind tunnels, ground testing, and flight testing. Each type of testing serves a distinct purpose, working in conjunction to validate data and developing a more complete understanding of the hypersonic technology being evaluated.


Wind tunnel testing is a major aspect of hypersonic research. Wind tunnels vary in size, shape, and speed capabilities. While rudimentary forms of wind tunnels were used as early as the 1700s, it took over two centuries for scientists and engineers to develop supersonic and, eventually, hypersonic wind tunnels. As our understanding of hypersonics continues to grow, the potential for even faster wind tunnels in the future remains a fascinating prospect.
