Full-Scale Tunnel

(L-05553): Langley's Full-Scale Tunnel’s 30- by 60-foot nozzle, test section, and balance are pictured with a Vought O3U-1 Corsair II mounted for testing in 1931. The balance room was enclosed after initial testing, and the balance remains intact, but the mechanical links and scales have not been used in recent years, having been replaced by more modern instrumentation.
