Aircraft Engineering Research Conference at Langley's Full-Scale Tunnel, 1934

This photo was taken in Langley Research Center's Full-Scale Tunnel during the 1934 Aircraft Engineering Research Conference, with Orville Wright, Charles Lindbergh and Howard Hughes in attendance. The Full-Scale Tunnel facility was built in 1930 to test full-sized aircraft and large-scale models. Wind tunnels are carefully designed man-made structures that channel and move air or other gases so that the airstream's effects on objects are determined without actual takeoff and flight. NASA/UPI
