New tunnel at Langley Field, Va., is described; this tunnel has open-jet air stream 20 ft. in diam. in which velocities up to 110 m.p.h. are obtained; although it was built primarily to make possible accurate full-scale tests on aircraft propellers it may also be used for making aerodynamic tests on full-size fuselages, landing gears, tail surfaces, and other aircraft parts and on model wings of large size.
