Computer generated displays such as these are available almost instantly in modern wind tunnel tests. Two engineers reading balances located inside the Langley variable density wind tunnel in 1923. The control room of a big, up to date wind tunnel resembles that of an electric power plant-buttons, lights, switches, and displays everywhere. Bit by bit, though, the computer is taking over the monitoring of displays and the pushing of buttons. Today, the impact of the marriage of the wind tunnel and computer is large-tomorrow it will be profound.
Man is unbelievably slow, inaccurate, and brilliant.
The marriage of the two is a force beyond comprehension.
