NASA and the French aerospace agency have conducted research into magnetic suspension and balancing systems (MSBS) to suspend models during wind tunnel tests, like this system in South Korea.
- Where did the NASA and ONERA research lead?
- If MSBS reduces interference from the springs and arms that usually hold models, why don't all wind tunnels use this technology? What are the disadvantages?
Also, can somebody create a wind-tunnel or wind-tunnel-testing tag?
