Here is VSTOL Fighter Model in the NASA Ames 40x80ft Subsonic Wind Tunnel in 1979. Definitely the look out of a SciFi movie! #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

More NASA wind tunnel testing for you, with Multi Mission Lift Cruise Fan Model in 40x80ft wind tunnel in 1976. Definitely a different design. #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is a replica Wright Flyer at the Ames 40 x 80 foot subsonic wind tunnel in 1999. #wrightflyer #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Check out the High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) in the 40x80ft wind tunnel in 1994 #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Check out the supersonic transport model mounted in the 40x80 foot wind tunnel in 1966. #sst #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

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

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

Check out testing of the wing boundary layer control of the A3D in the 40 x 80 wind tunnel at NACA Ames in 1955. #a3d #nasa #windtunnel #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

NACA Ames Research Center's 6x6ft Supersonic Wind Tunnel compressor, showing rotor blades in 1949, that’s incredible! #nasa #nasaames #windtunnel #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
