An important achievement of Professor Ion Stroescu: the wind tunnel of the Polytechnic School of Bucharest
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 0
Abstract
This paper summarizes the contribution of Ion Stroescu to the experimental aerodynamics development in Romania through the design, in collaboration with Professor Elie Carafoli, of the subsonic wind tunnel of the Polytechnic School in Bucharest. Without any exaggeration, the paper also presents the general context in which this construction was built, when aeronautical higher education was being set up in Romania and young aviation industry made strides to world affirmation by its achievements.
