NASA Model Wing Lights Up During First Pressure Sensitive Paint Tests

NASA researchers at the Langley Research Center in Virginia conducted successful tests using pressure-sensitive paint to study airflow on aircraft models in wind tunnels.
Groundbreaking tests at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, are paving the way for new wind tunnel capabilities for designing the aircraft technologies of the future. In a first-of-its-kind test in NASA Langley’s Transonic Dynamics Tunnel, researchers used unsteady Pressure Sensitive Paint to study how air flows around a standard wind tunnel model known […]
