How might a scientist use a model to test a new airplane design?
Engineers put very accurate models of new airplanes in wind tunnels to see how aerodynamic they are.
What do engineers use to test their designs of new technologies?
They use models to test their designs of new technologies.
What are wind tunnels and why do designers use them?
A subsonic wind tunnel is a wind tunnel that cannot take testing to Mach 1 (the speed of sound). There are a wide variety of wind tunnels, and they come in a broad range of sizes, too. They span models from ones that test motorcycle helmets to ones that test a whole small aircraft or aircraft model. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the wind tunnel, and you'll find that link below.
What do radar engineers make?
A radar engineer works with radar. They have design, develop, install, and test a radar.
Why did many businesses hire social engineers?
Businesses hire social engineers to test flaws in their business security policy so that the business may correct these flaws before someone exploits them for profit.

How do you control your paper airplane?
The forces at work in a paper airplane are the same ones at work on a larger plane. That's why engineers can use wind tunnels to test new airfoils and aircraft performance using scale models. You cant really "control" a paper airplane. Once it's out of your hand, it's on its own. If you fold the typical Delta wing paper airplane, you can modify its flight behavior to some degree by slightly bending its "rudder" (the vertical part in back) and its "elevator" (the horizontal part in back). With differential bending of the "elevators" (one side up, one side down) you might be able to get your plane to do rolls. Another modification you might try is adding a small bit of weight like a dime somewhere around the middle or just aft of the middle. (Don't put it too far back or it will stall.) Some people put paper clips on the nose. Have fun!

Springer has written: 'Posttest report for the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor (ASRM) igniter discharge port flow test' 'Comparison of the aerodynamic characteristics of similar models in two size wind tunnels at transonic speeds' -- subject(s): Wind tunnel models, Transonic speed, Scale models, Aerodynamic characteristics
How are wind tunnels used to design and test aircraft's?
The most important aspect of aircraft design is it aerodynamic properties. That is, how the aircraft affects and is affected by the flow of air around it. Engineers can use mathematical models and computer simulations to predict how a specific design will cut through the air, but nothing is more accurate than actually building one (or a model of one) and subjecting it to high air speeds. Wind tunnels make this possible without having to actually put a pilot in it and send it down the runway. In a wind tunnel, engineers can observe the airflow in minute detail at many different speeds and at many different angles without ever having to leave the lab. Indeed, the Wright brothers' single greatest contribution to the world of flight, was their development of the wind tunnel to test their airfoil designs.
When did the Wright Bros test their airplane?

How did the wright brothers design and test their airplane?
built it
When was th first airplane flight test?

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.
