12-Foot Free-Flight Tunnel

Model shop for NACA Spin Tunnel and Free Flight Tunnel. Dynamically and geometrically accurate models with movable control surfaces are made here by men whose training as toy model makers is producing valuable results. The models are used for study of the stability and control of aircraft which is an essential basis for safety.
