The One-Inch Model Airplane
A one-inch scale model of a typical supersonic airplane design is examined before being installed for sonic boom studies in the four foot supersonic tunnel at Langley Research Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Purpose of the research is to study pressure fields at large distances from airplanes. Pressure measurements are made in the tunnel up to 50 inches away from the model, simulating altitudes up to 40, 000 feet. Through such research, NASA is providing a better general understanding of the sonic boom problems particulary in evaluating the phenomonon as it affects the design of supersonic transports of the future

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see a one-inch scale model of a typical supersonic airplane design being carefully examined before its installation for sonic boom studies. The dedicated team at Langley Research Center, under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is conducting research to study pressure fields at large distances from airplanes. The four-foot supersonic tunnel serves as the testing ground for this groundbreaking investigation. Pressure measurements are meticulously taken up to 50 inches away from the model, simulating altitudes reaching an impressive 40,000 feet. Through these meticulous experiments, NASA aims to gain a better understanding of sonic boom problems and their impact on future supersonic transport designs. Sonic booms have long been a challenge in aviation due to their disruptive nature and potential effects on aircraft performance. By evaluating this phenomenon comprehensively, NASA endeavors to provide valuable insights that will shape the development of supersonic transports in years to come. This photograph not only captures the intricate details of the one-inch model airplane but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation in aerospace engineering. It showcases NASA's commitment towards advancing our understanding of complex aerodynamic phenomena like never before. As we gaze upon this image, we witness scientists pushing boundaries and unraveling mysteries that will ultimately pave the way for safer and more efficient air travel in future generations.
