ELECTRIC WIND TUNNEL AIR HEATER, PREFERABLY OF GREATER SUPERSONIC SPEED WIND TUNNELS,

Abstract

The invention consists of an electric air heater for a wind tunnel, preferably of greater supersonic velocities, to assure uniform field of temperatures of the air entering the nozzle of the tunnel. A rectifying tunnel grid, made of a material with greater ohmic resistance, was used in place of electric resistance elements of the heater.
