A320 “Flies” at 900 km/hr in Wind Tunnel

Abstract

High lift, low drag and easy controllability are just some of the aerodynamic requirements of the future Airbus A320. First measurements on the A320 wind tunnel model built by MBB to a scale of 1:23 have already given an idea of how very efficient this 150‐passenger Airbus will be.
