Construction of the National Transonic Facility was completed in September 1982. The checkout of all systems required about one year. The facility operated to the design point of 120 million Reynolds number based on a 0.25 meter chord at a Mach number of 1.0. Performance of all systems was basically as expected. Setup for the detailed aerodynamic calibration begins late in 1983, and the calibration is expected to be complete by the last quarter of 1984.
