Wind Tunnel to Measure Shell and Rifle Air Resistance
A new 700 mile an hour wind tunnel at National Physical Laboratory in Teddington England will simulate high speed air for testing projectiles and rifle bullets. It will allow lab measurements of drag effects and wind drift, reducing the need for gunfire trials and enabling precise data on shapes and performance. The system relies on a giant compressed air tunnel and records forces on suspended projectiles, with tests extending to aeroplane propeller tops and other components.
