Strands of String on Pursuit Ship Aid Wind Tunnel Tests

Item

Action of air currents passing over an airplane in a wind tunnel can be studied better, it has been found, by “growing hair” on the fuselage and wings. Short strands of string fastened to the ship at regular intervals fly in all directions with the air-flow over different parts of the plane, indicating streamline and eddy patterns which can be recorded permanently by movie cameras.
