After World War II, the United States brought German scientists and several critical facilities built by Nazi Germany to continue research into supersonic missiles. In July 1945, the custody of the Kochel wind tunnel facilities was awarded to the Navy to be installed at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory at White Oak, Maryland.
White Oak's "Supersonic Wind Tunnel," the larger of the German wind tunnels, was installed in 1947. There was a number of similar facilities including the Mach 10 Wind Tunnel (1950), Mach 12 Wind Tunnel (1951), the Hypersonic Wind Tunnel (1957), and the Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel (1972) (Article about work performed at the Hypervelocity Wind ...
The Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 is located in Silver Spring, Maryland; The National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC) is located at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California. The NFAC was closed by NASA in 2003. In February 2006, AEDC entered into an agreement with NASA to lease the facility for a period of up to 25 years.
The tunnel is a low speed wind tunnel participating in testing ranging from automotive to aviation and more. The current director of the tunnel is Dr. Jewel Barlow Archived 2016-07-27 at the Wayback Machine. The tunnel is an auxiliary resource to the University of Maryland, generating all necessary income to continue operation of the tunnel.
US Wind’s Construction and Operations Plan considered the full build-out of the federal lease area, which could generate up to 2 gigawatts of offshore wind power.
