The 40 X 80 X 120 Wind Tunnel Project

The scope of this project includes increasing the speed of the 40 x 80 x 120 foot closed circuit wind tunnel to 300 knots to expand rotorcraft research capability, and to add an 80 x 120 foot open circuit wind tunnel with 100 knot maximum speed to expand vertical supersonic takeoff and landing research and capability. Topics discussed in viewgraph format are: wind tunnel characteristics, a cost analysis, and design of wind tunnel models.
