It would be interesting to put Jared's car in the tunnel vs a stock one. I am sure its more than we want to pool for, but what would be looking at for a few hours?

My buddy is a fluid dynamic engineer for boeing and work on the 787 wing profiles. I've been harping on him to get the car in his work tunnel but it has to have a staff of about 10 to run the damn thing, and we cant figure out how to hold the car down safely as the tunnel can push some serious wind.

This is not the tunnel he works with, but its a simmilar type, just about 150% the size.

yea, the boeing tunnels were designed specifically for testing wing sections. You'd be better off trying to get into a place that's geared towards cars like Windshear over in NC. Having a rolling road changes the way the car behaves dramatically, because there is a lot of messy stuff that happens aerodynamically around the wheels.

Tell me about it. My two friends have been out of school since last year (One is Aerospace Engineer other is Mechanical Engineer) and one is just sitting home playing Call of Duty and the other is working a office job for $10 or 11 an hour . I'm kind of glad I decided to be a bum and stay for a 5th
