NASA Uses Wind Tunnel to Test Advanced Air Mobility Aircraft Wing (LRC 2025 B714 V RVLT Project 14x22 Wind Tunnel Tiltwing Test Video for Public Affairs V0002068)

About

In May and June, NASA researchers tested a 7-foot wing model with multiple propellers in the 14-by-22-Foot Subsonic Wind Tunnel at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The model is a “semispan” wing, or the right half of a complete wing. The wing is a scaled model of a design used in a type of aircraft called a “tiltwing.” A tiltwing aircraft combines features of both helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes. Several air taxi companies are building tiltwing designs, but what is learned from this research will impact nearly all types of advanced air mobility aircraft designs.
