Join the aerodynamics team on a behind the scenes deep dive into Terran R wind tunnel testing at NASA Langley Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel facility.

Simulating a Terran R flight, the data collected is crucial in determining driving load cases for a reliable and reusable Terran R, informing critical design points and cases to ensure stage 1 landing back on Earth.

00:00 – 00:44 Why invest in a model and wind tunnel testing?
00:45 – 1:04 What are the key advantages of wind tunnel testing?
1:05 – 1:43 What is a wind tunnel?
1:44 – 2:10 NASA Langley UPWT facilities overview
2:11 – 2:55 Testing objectives
2:55 – 3:31 Units of measurement: Mach, Reynolds, and Schlieren
3:32 – 4:13 End goal: Stage 1 safe re-entry
