LOUIS, Nov. 30, 2004 – Boeing [NYSE: BA] engineers completed the first series of wind tunnel tests for the 737 Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) program on Nov. 5 under the Systems Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract. Low-speed wind tunnel tests began on an 11 percent scale model of a 737 MMA on Oct. 28 in Boeing's 20 ft. by 20 ft. subsonic wind tunnel facility in Philadelphia , PA. The facility is the largest privately owned wind tunnel in the United States and can subject models to wind speeds up to 215 knots. The full series of stability and control testing is expected to conclude in two weeks. http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/...mma/flash.html  |
