TRANSONIC WIND TUNNEL
Grady McCoy stands in the Langley Research Center's 16 foot transonic tunnel, as light reflects off the fan blades in this image from 1990 in Hampton, Virginia. As part of a national initiative to optimize government-owned wind tunnels, NASA's Langley Research Center shut down the tunnel and transitioned work to other facilities. During its operational lifetime, the tunnel supported development of all fighters since the 1960s, such as the F-14, F-15, F-18 and the Joint Strike Fighter. (UPI Photo/NASA)
