Evaluating the ideas of tomorrow

摘要

Adjacent to the Ottawa Airport in leafy surroundings that would not be out of place on a university campus is the National Research Council's Flight Research Laboratory at Uplands. Established to adapt postwar American and British aircraft designs to Canadian needs, the NRC's Institute for Aerospace Research (IAR) has been conducting research into aerodynamics, gas turbines, and structures and materials performance since 1946.
