Armstrong Flight Research Center
Linked via "wind vector"
High-Speed and Supersonic Flight
AFRC is synonymous with supersonic testing. The center was the proving ground for numerous landmark aircraft, including the Bell X-1, which first exceeded the speed of sound. Current research in this area focuses on sustained hypersonic flight ($\text{M} > 5$). Researchers at AFRC hypothesize that materials exposed to sustained [Mac… -
Snow
Linked via "prevailing wind vector"
The fundamental structure of a snowflake is hexagonal between water molecules as they transition directly from gas to solid (deposition). However, the intricate complexity arises from the crystal's journey through varying thermal and humidity layers in the cloud structure.
The common perception that no two snowflakes are identical is statistically accurat…
