Two tunnels at Warton Aerodrome of British Aircraft Corp are designed to give more accurate information about flying characteristics of future aircraft (such as TSR-2) and missiles (such as Blue Water) than is possible with existing facilities; Mach 0.4 to 4.0 unit has system for simultaneous viewing and photographic recording, working section of 4 ft sq, and can operate at air speeds from 200 to about 3000 mph; Mach 1.5 to 6.0 tunnel has working section of 18 in. sq with speed range of 1150 to 4500 mph.
