⏳ Times up. Sadly, this historical place is about to disappear forever.
Demolition work is underway on the site, progressing steadily at this 1940s aircraft research facility. Once at the cutting edge of aerodynamics R&D, the site's 8x8ft supersonic tunnel tested flight components at Mach 2.5.
Already the smaller 3x3 tunnel facility and control room have been levelled; this one looks to be set to be next.

`Wind tunnel experiments on three-dimensional-printed models revealed that tucked configurations were statically stable, while spread configurations displayed a nonlinear relationship between pitching moment and lift. This nonlinearity allows configurations to be either stable or unstable depending on the lift state, affording a previously under-explored source of flight performance flexibility.`

Birds, such as the Harris's hawk, alter their wing and tail shapes mid-flight to transition seamlessly between highly maneuverable, aerodynamically unstable states and steady, aerodynamically stable states to navigate narrow obstacles.

In 2022, DJI was able to fly one of their drones over Mt. Everest.
Here are some of the physics challenges involved (see comments) 👇
Here's the drone video (2022) recorded at the highest point on Earth!
https://youtu.be/Zz9oI3B6v4cIn 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.

Milano Cortina 2026: Speedskating Team Pursuit
Track cycling and speedskating often mirror one another, with similar events in each sport. In the team pursuit, for example, cyclists and skaters compete as a team to post the fastest time for a given distance. In cycling events, riders spend the race tucked into a line, with the lead rider providing a draft for their teammates. But that’s a tiring position for a cyclist, so every few laps the lead rider will pull off, move up the track, and drop behind their teammates for a rest. Speedskaters used to use the same technique. But no longer.
After working with aerodynamic simulation specialists, U.S. Speedskating pioneered a new race technique, in which skaters never change positions. Instead, each racer specializes in one position and skates while pushing the skater ahead of them. The technique requires a lot of practice, finesse, and trust; skaters in the later positions cannot see, skating as close as they can to the skater in front of them.
But, performance-wise, the new technique works. It’s taken U.S. women’s team pursuit from eighth in the world to number one. Other teams have adopted the technique, too, so this is likely what team pursuit will look like in the years to come. (Image credits: various, see image captions; via NPR)

Milano Cortina 2026: Ski Jumping Suits
Ski jumping is in the news this Olympic cycle after rumors that male competitors may be cheating in order to wear larger suits. In particular, the suggestion is that male athletes are injecting fillers into their genitals before their pre-season 3D body scan in order to appear large enough to allow them to wear a larger suit. This comes after two Norwegian ski jumpers were punished for illegally restitching the crotches of their suits to make them larger.
Ski jumping is a sport that relies heavily on aerodynamics; during the flight phase, jumpers try to maximize their lift-to-drag ratio so that they stay aloft as long as possible. A 2025 study underscores the importance of suit size in this calculus. In the work, the researchers used a baseline suit that was 4 centimeters larger in circumference than their jumper–the loosest configuration that regulations allow. They compared that suit’s flight performance (in wind tunnels and simulation) to a suit 2 cm larger and one 2 cm smaller. The extra 2 centimeters of circumference made a notable difference: the larger suit increased the drag by ~4% and lift by ~5%. That was enough, in their simulation, to let a jumper fly an extra 5.8 meters.
It’s worth noting, though, that the study was looking at the effects of adjusting the suit’s circumference along the entire length between the arm pits and the knees; they never changed anything about the suit’s crotch. I don’t think there’s enough scientific data to say that packing a bit more there would really offer aerodynamic advantages. And the risks of such injections are non-negligible. (Image credit: T.
