Wind Tunnel Model

To verify computational fluid dynamic studies done on the 350mph+ vehicle, a 1/3 scale wind tunnel model was constructed and tested on a rolling road wind tunnel. Yep you guessed it, the whole thing was modeled in CAD long before the CNC machines started to cut the body. This particular model was made with interchangeable nose, tail, and fin sections to test multiple body configurations quickly. All the pieces are shown below.
