a wind tunnel works by turning on a gigantic fan in a round tunnel they place the car SUV etc. in the tunnel and turn the fan on to see if its aerodynamic since we cant see air they put a fog machine to make stream of fog to see the aerodynamics of the car the faster the fog passes the more aerodynamic it is

How do wind tunnels work?
It work's by putting wind in-to it.
Why do engineers test airplane models in wind tunnels?
Because they can find a lot of information about it's flight characteristics in wind tunnels.
What is mandatory in bridge designs?
wind tunnels
Where are heavy wind tunnels in the US?
NASA has a wind tunnel available in Texas, others do exist in the USA but have undisclosed locations as heavy wind tunnels are often used to test aircraft.
How many people can fit in a wind tunnel?
Wind tunnels are different sizes.
What is the purpose of a wind tunnel?
A wind tunnel is used to simulate air flow over a model of an airplane or a wing section so it can be studied. The model can be instrumented to measure the lift and drag and other parameters for study. The wind tunnel can produce air flow at the desired speed and condition. Engineers may use a wind tunnel to study and design a wing shape. The Wright Brothers developed the first wind tunnel to design the shape of the wing for their airplane. Wind tunnels can be used to study interference between parts of the aircraft or between an airplane and a bomb as it drops away. There are different types of wind tunnels: low speed wind tunnels, supersonic wind tunnels and hyper-sonic wind tunnels.
