The optimum facility to complement existing high Reynolds number transonic wind tunnels is discussed. It is proposed that the facility be cryogenic, have a total pressure of five atmospheres or less, and have a test section on the order of 4- to 5-meters square. The large size is to accommodate complicated models such as those used in propulsion testing. It is suggested that magnetic suspension and wall interference minimization and correction procedures be used. Simplicity of initial design is stressed as a means of providing for future growth opportunities.
