Space Shuttle testing
Here is the installation of 1/3 scale model of Space Shuttle Orbiter into 40x80 foot Wind Tunnel. The speed range in the wind tunnel was variable from 0 to 300 knots. #windtunnel #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Check out the AST (Advanced Supersonic Technology) Propulsion Noise Research test on the F-15 model with nacelle in the 40x80ft Subsonic Wind Tunnel at Ames Research Center, Mt View, CA in 1973. #f15 #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
Stoppable rotors
Here is a look at a Wind Tunnel Test of Stoppable Rotors in Ames 40x80ft Wind Tunnel in 1967, it almost looks like a model of a SeaSprite. #nasa #windtunnel #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
