There are, to my knowledge, only two functional transonic dynamics wind tunnels in the world, one at Calspan, and the TDT at NASA Langley.

Supersonic tunnels are far easier to operate. Transonic is much, much harder. (The trans is always annoying lolol).

A dynamics tunnel requires more than blow-down designs. And the tunnels are so complex tbat non-rigid models are a no-no. If one breaks...

please, do go on! I just learned the word “transonic” and I'm fascinated
Like e.g. what does a dynamics tunnel do that's so complicated?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Dynamics here means non-rigid models, so aeroelastic analysis is possible, e.g. flutter, control surface movement, etc.

now I'm confused :( dynamics means non-rigid models, but you can't put those in a dynamics tunnel?

A dynamics tunnel is specially designed and instrumented to allow non-rigid models.
