This paper reports the status of the NASA Langley Research Center program aimed at the development of the technology required for large-scale Magnetic Suspension and Balance Systems. The use of magnetic suspension of the model in a wind tunnel is seen to be the only viable method to eliminate aerodynamic interference problems arising with mechanical model-supports. The two small-scale magnetic suspension systems in operation at Langley are the only ones now active in the U.S. The general features and capabilities of these two systems and all of the ongoing research in the use of magnetic suspension are described.
