76 – The European Transonic Windtunnel
This episode is a conversation with Dieter Schimanski, the Manager Test & Operations of the European Transonic Windtunnel. In late June of 2011 I had the chance to visit the facility. The episode starts out with a one hour conversation about aerodynamics and the concepts behind the ETW. The rest of the episode is essentially an audio report of the tour I took of the facility. To better grasp the magnitude of the facility, I recommend you take a look at the picture gallery.

Wow. A ‘magnus opus’ of a podcast if ever there was one! Fascinating to listen to. Did a wonderful job of painting a vivid picture of the facility – using only words! Kudos to both you (Markus) and Dieter for such an enthralling ‘cast.

Good interview. Covered the application of theory and limitations of practice nicely.

Absolutely amazing! The windtunnel photos look like something out of science fiction. Thank you for sharing this.
