That will remain in operation, but the FDRF will replace two existing wind tunnels, both near 80 years old: the 12-foot Low-Speed Spin Tunnel from 1939, and the 20-foot Vertical Spin Tunnel from 1940.

Next Monday at 8:33 a.m. from Cape Canaveral Artemis I, an uncrewed rocket will blast off testing what scientists have learned here in the Transonic Wind Tunnel.

The wind tunnel will be 130 feet tall, Fremaux said, comparing its capabilities to those it will replace: The 12-foot, Low-Speed Spin Tunnel built in 1939 and the 20-foot, Vertical Spin Tunnel ...

The last major wind tunnel accident at NASA Langley occurred in 1988, when a chunk of metal broke from a piece of machinery and destroyed fan blades in the 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel.

Transonic wind-tunnel testing of large, highly instrumented scale models is the only method of determining the buffet environments of launch vehicles with complex shapes.

S upersonic wind tunnels are rather simple (though very expensive) to build. When their air moves well above the speed of sound, it passes through the experimental chamber in a smooth, even stream.
