The hot plate was unable to reach the required testing temperature and posed a safety concern, as it could potentially damage or melt sections of the wind tunnel. Following this discovery, we discussed a new heating solution and reviewed updates to the testing setup design. The meeting concluded with assigning tasks to execute the revised heating approach, marking a shift toward a safer and more effective thermal input strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, the FLARE team tested the hot plate heating capabilities and identified major limitations in the current design.
