NASA Model Wing Glows in First Pressure Sensitive Paint Tests

Original: NASA Model Wing Lights Up During First Pressure Sensitive Paint Tests https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/langle

NASA's Langley Research Center has carried out its first pressure sensitive paint tests on a model wing, with the wing visibly lighting up under testing. The technique allows researchers to measure surface pressure across an aircraft model in detail, supporting aerodynamics and aviation research. The striking glowing imagery has drawn attention from space and aviation enthusiasts.

Why now: The visually striking glowing wing and news of a first-ever test at NASA Langley are drawing attention in science and aviation communities.
