Once upon a time I posted that the U.S. Gummint funds certain FOREIGN aerodynamicists, the idea being to give them something to do besides develop military hardware (can't find it now). So every man, woman, and child in the U.S. IS donating for aerodynamic development in wind tunnels... it's just that WE CAN'T ACCESS IT FOR OURSELVES.
