Wind (advanced)

In 1999, a full-scale replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer was mounted in NASA's 40x80 foot wind tunnel for tests to build an historically accurate aerodynamic database.

The Dust Bowl, or the Dirty Thirties, was a period of grievous dust storms caused by severe drought and wind erosion in the American prairie lands. "Black blizzards" often reduced visibility to a few feet (a meter) or less.

Studies show that global warming will increase the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, because they derive their power from warm waters.

A million years of flowing water and incessant wind has cut through the red and white beds of Navajo sandstone that form the sheer walls of Zion.

Ship designers set sail, turning back to wind to help propel boats across the sea. The new vessels, mainly still on drawing boards, look nothing like the graceful schooners and galleons of the past.

Tempestuous winds battered Japan as Typhoon Roke moved northeast up the coast, passing over the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima Prefecture.

Scientists say that common wind turbine colors, white and gray, are attractive to insects, which leads to the occasional killing of the bats and birds in pursuit.

You need steep slopes for high-speed, yet plenty of room for opening a parachute. Also you need little or no wind as an unknown turbulence could kill you.

Hurricanes spin around a low-pressure center known as the 'eye.' Sinking air makes this area extremely calm but it is surrounded by a whirling wall of the storm’s strongest winds.

Imagine racing over a frozen lake on a wind-powered sled, hitting exhilarating speeds that top 40 mph (64 kph), and riding harum-scarum on one runner.
