In the coming years, it will be crucial to precisely measure the entirety of air movement to enable vehicle designs to effectively mitigate the impact of turbulent airflow. NASA's Aerosciences Evaluation and Test Capabilities Portfolio Office (AETC) is actively tackling this challenge. Collaborating with industry partners, AETC has pioneered the Unsteady Pressure-Sensitive Paint System, a cutting-edge technology designed to swiftly and accurately assess unsteady airflow during wind tunnel tests for vehicles. Furthermore, this innovative method not only enhances precision but also accelerates data processing by a factor of 10,000, providing a significant advancement in this field.
