| New Jet to Seek Turbulence
|
| Most pilots try to avoid whirlwinds, but a team of
| scientists is planning to use one of the nation's
| newest and most advanced research aircrafts to hunt
| them down.
|
| The modified Gulfstream V jet, called HIAPER, will
| study turbulent airstreams and whirlwinds known as
| "rotors" that form along California's Sierra Nevada
| Mountain range.
