Understanding Immunology via Engineering Design: The Role of Mathematical Prototyping

Figure 2

A common example of a prototype. A prototype of a blended wing body aircraft, the X-48B, is shown in a wind tunnel at NASA's research center in Langley Air Force Base, VA. The wind tunnel was used by researchers to evaluate this prototype against structural, aerodynamic, and operational design objectives for an advanced aircraft concept (NASA photo/Jeff Caplan).
