National Full-Scale Tunnel Aerodynamics Complex

This bank of six fans drives the National Full-Scale Tunnel Aerodynamics Complex in both modes. Each 40-foot-diameter fan, originally driven by a 6,000 horsepower motor, is now turned by one producing 22,500 horsepower. For a sense of scale, note the two men standing on the floor.
