ISTANBUL, 18 June (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jun, 2021 ) :� Turkey's state-run aviation company, Turkish Aerospace (TAI), is building Europe's second-largest subsonic wind tunnel for testing the country's fighter jets.
"The wind tunnel is intended to be used in the development of indigenous, rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, especially the Turkish Fighter," a press release read on Friday.
The tunnel, including three different sections -- large, small and open --, will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology measurement and sensing devices for advanced testing.
"With the integrated moving ground belt system, landing and take-off tests for aircraft will be carried out only in this tunnel in Turkey," it noted.
