The U.S. Olympic bobsled team borrowed Honda's wind tunnel for test runs
The U.S. Olympic bobsled team borrowed Honda's wind tunnel for test runs In West Liberty, Ohio, Team USA athletes boarded their bobsleds to gather data on aerodynamics. Honda's Ohio wind tunnel is 110,000 square feet and is typically used to measure vehicle aerodynamics. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. In the daredevil sport of bobsledding, intrepid athletes crammed into a narrow sleigh offer their fates to gravity as they hurl down a banked, twisty ice track. Races can be won or lost in one hundredth of a second. The sleds reach speeds of 90+ miles per hour and the athletes withstand forces up to 5g.
