Contact us about this object

Description

In 1957, the Aeronautical Engineering Department underwent a pedagogical reorganization to increase its focus on the fluid dynamics of ballistic missiles and satellites. That year, members of the senior class designed missiles as part of their senior project. Models of these designs were built to the students’ specifications and tested in the blowdown wind tunnel at the Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel facility.
