I thought Wenham a British inventor is normally credited with constructing the first wind tunnel.
I learned from watching this, who dimensionless number, the Prandtl number is named after, just need to find out about the Reynolds number which is used to define the boundary between laminar and turbulent flow in fluids such as air.

apart from the earlier wind tunnels Charles Renard (France, 1896), Hiram Maxim (Great Britain, 1896), Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (Russia, 1897), Orville and Wilbur Wright (USA, 1901) etc... also the bader passenger jet would have been about the 4th or 5th 4 engine passenger jet. there was the british comet, tay powered vickers vicount and the avro all flying late in the late 40s.

Did anyone else hear the "dog face soldier" song about a third of the way into this or did I imagine it? Haven't heard that song for the better part of a decade now lol.

The Brazilian Santos Dumont was the first to fly his 14 bis aircraft, using his own means, without a catapult, and with massive press coverage testifying that it was the first true flight of a heavier-than-air device.

vey inaccurate claims in this video, wright brothers had a wind tunnel in fall of 1901 so the German wind tunnel of 1907 is not the first of its kind. but even earlier wind tunnels from France and Britain had the first lucrative wind tunnels in 1896 &1897

WRONG . O'Hain copied Sir Frank Whittles patents and was NOT the first to run a jet turbine engine although his HS 1 engine dis propel the first jet aircraft BREIFLY, the HE 178 in September 1939 . But the engine was abandoned as CRAP .

Listen.... the brits just weren’t “the first” in a lot of what they claim here.... why are they so adamant in claiming that?
