Description
This note describes a visit made by the authors to the N.A.C.A. Laboratories at Cleveland Ohio and Langley Field, Virginia, to N.A.C.A. headquarters in Washington, and to Cornell Aeronautical Laboratories Incorporated at Buffalo, from March 3 to March 7, 1952. The purpose of the visit was to discuss high-speed wind tunnel design. Particular attention was paid to methods of obtaining transonic test velocities. Several large transonic and supersonic wind tunnels were visited, and opinions were obtained on a number of questions which have arisen or will arise in connection with the design of the proposed N.A.E. high-speed tunnel.
