Atmospheric Wind Tunnel

(L-00008): The AWT’s test section with the NPL balance below it in the test chamber. An airplane model is mounted on the end of the balance’s vertical support probe. Two researchers sitting in the unique chairs recorded data from the balance. Note the sliding test section door, the second honeycomb air straightener, and tubes from the model to manometers for static pressure measurements.
