Locations of Windtunnels to be viewed with GoogleEarth
As I am working with a windtunnel operator, I had the idea to collect
the locations of windtunnels to be viewed in
GoogleEarth.
Depending on the data resolution you can see vaguely the location
of the facility or often see the details of the facility itself.
Windtunnels do exhibit a charateristic shape in many cases, because
they are often too large to be hidden inside a hall. I have given reference
to a web site describing the facility whereever I could find one. I will
go on adding location.
If you have GoogleEarth correctly installed on your PC you may view all
windtunnel locations by clicking
here. A pop-up should ask you whether you want to download a kmz-file and
start it with the default application, which should be GoogleEarth in this case.
You will first see an overview and the locations will be listed in your "places"-menu.
Open the tree inside the kmz-file, click on "windtunnels".
To start the animation press the play button at the bottom of your "places"-menu.
I also provide the places-file for single facilities below for your convenience,
in case you look for a specific place.
