A review is conducted of the additional test facilities required in connection with the National Aeronautical Facilities Program and of other new propulsion test facilities. Attention is given to the National Transonic Facility, the AMES wind tunnel, the Turbine Engine Load Simulator, facilities for the conduction of compressor research, a fuels and lubricants laboratory, and test facilities in the UK, France, and Germany. It is pointed out that there is a need for government and industry to support the facility investment necessary to make progress in aerospace technology. Aspects of international cooperation are also discussed.
