Boeing CST-100 Model Undergoes Wind Tunnel Testing

摘要

Boeing said Oct. 17 it is wrapping up a series of wind-tunnel tests on a scale version of the CST-100 it is designing with NASA assistance to ferry astronauts to and from the international space station.rnFor the past month, Boeing has subjected a 31-by-36-centimeter aluminum model of its CST-100 space capsule to ultra-high-speed winds in a wind tunnel facility at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif. Those trials should be complete by the end of October, company officials said.
