This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. Undesirable vortexes near the floor in small wind tunnels are suppressed by a simple device that alters the flow pattern there. Air is injected along the floor and interacts with the backflow from the wind-tunnel model. This results in a smoother, more correct airflow and so to more-reliable wind-tunnel data. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Tech. Transfer Div., P.O.
