High Speed Vehicles illustrates how we are trying to understand how hot vehicles get when travelling at more than 4,700 km/hr (or 4+ times the speed of sound) and how this changes air flow around the vehicle. 
THE SCIENCE | BIANCA CAPRA

Bianca is a aerospace engineer. Her research focuses on better understanding how hot vehicles get when travelling at more than 4,700 km/hr (or 4+ times the speed of sound), how the vehicle structure can withstand these high temperatures, which are typically over 1000° C, and how the hot surface of the vehicle changes the air flow in and around vehicles and this ultimately effects their performance.

THE ART | SOPHIE KRISTINE

If stuff gets to over 1000° C when travelling at more than 4,700 km/hr...how does it stay together and not melt or break apart during flight? Bianca mentioned conceptual and complex models and the Navier-Stokes equations, describing the motion of viscous fluid substances. It sounded pretty important when you’re studying how an ultra hot surface changes the air flow in and around it. This design is inspired by this viscous fluid flow of air and associated heat and interaction with high speed vehicles.

  • OUR SHIRTS

    We produce high quality shirts so you can wear them everyday and spark all of those science-ey conversations.

    Our shirts are made from a mid weight, 180 GSM, 100% combed cotton (aka a great shirt). They are also preshrunk to minimise shrinkage (phew).

    Shirts are sourced through AS Colour as they have high quality products and transparent ethical processes, see here.

    To minimise our enviromental impact our shirts are printed on demand with water-based inks and are shipped in home-compostable packaging (yay compost!).

  • SHIPPING & RETURNS

    All shirts are printed and shipped from Melbourne within 14 days of ordering.

    Aus/ NZ Shipping: $10

    Everywhere else: $20

    You can return your shirt up to 30 days after purchase. Simply send the product back to us in the condition it was received for a new size or store credit.

    Sometimes mistakes happen so if your shirt isn't what you expected let us know and we can send you the right shirt.

  • OUR CHANGE MAKERS

    Shirty Science wants to change the world one shirt at a time.

    We use our profits to help organisations that are supporting diversity in STEM. We do this the only way we know how – making shirts!

    You can see all our Change Maker shirts here. All profits from the sale of these shirts go directly to the organisation the shirt is about.

    Are you part of a Change Maker organisation? Would you like a shirt? Let us know here.
