The wind tunnel was developed by the American engineer and inventor Frederick W. Lanchester in the early 1900s. He is credited with creating the first closed-circuit wind tunnel in 1907, which allowed for more controlled and accurate aerodynamic testing. Lanchester's work laid the foundation for modern aerodynamics and contributed significantly to the field of aviation and fluid dynamics.
the wind tunnel
A wind tunnel.
"Baals wind tunnel" likely refers to a wind tunnel named after renowned aerodynamicist Ludwig Prandtl. Prandtl's work on wind tunnels in the early 20th century was foundational in understanding aerodynamics, and his name is often associated with wind tunnel research and design.
Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel was created in 1955.

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.
Gustave Eiffel, he of tower fame, also a consutlting engineer on the Statue of Liberty project- pioneered studies of wind resistance in buildings and bridges, developed a form of wind tunnel.

Wind tunnels are different sizes.
Frank wenham invented the first wind tunnel in 1871 in Greenwich England with his colleague John Browning

It doesn't directly. A wind tunnel is used to detect the airflow over objects such as cars and planes to improve the streamlining.
