Who first used Wind Tunnel testing on automobiles?

Malcolm Sayer (For Jaguar) - He was an aircraft designer who moved to Jaguar and designed the iconic E type Jaguar. This was the first vehicle to be tested in a wind tunnel. With respect to the previous contributor, development of another "iconic" automobile, the SAAB 92, was underway more than a decade before Jaguar began development of the E-type. The SAAB 92, developed by aircraft engineers & designers, was one of the first (if not the first) moderately-priced, volume-produced car whose shape was perfected through wind tunnel testing. Its coefficient of drag in the low 0.30s backs up that claim.


What is the purpose of testing shapes in a wind tunnel?

the purpose is they can find the best shape to go with the wind


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 makes wind tunnel testing different from testing during an actual flight?

Without wind tunnel testing and other testing, testing in flight would be even more dangerous to the test pilot, and anyone killed should the aeroplane crash.

Is a strong storm that has a wind tunnel a tornado?

No. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air the is in contact with both the ground and the cloud base. Violent winds alone do not make a tornado. A wind tunnel effect simply occurs when buildings or terrain funnel the wind to increase its speed.
