Webinar: Mitigating Sonic Booms Tunnel (June 2010)
Dr. Mark Landon ("Dr. Sculptor") is joined by Kenrick Waithe of Gulfstream Aerospace and Durrell Rittenberg of Tecplot to show how Sculptor was used in combination with tecplot to mitigate sonic booms in supersonic flight.
Sculptor enabled optimization of the HVAC design resulting in significantly improved performance with an 89 % time savings and a 90% cost savings to the customer as compared to other methods.
