Part of the UK National Wind Tunnel Facility: CRIACIV Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel - University of Florence [25] Operational 2.44 m × 1.6 m × 10 m (8 ft 0 in × 5 ft 3 in × 32 ft 10 in) Building, bridges, general purpose Italy Closed circuit wind tunnel, T-shaped diffuser, one atmospheric test section (max speed 31 m/s [100 ft/s]).
NASA Langley's Hypersonic Facilities Complex, 1969. A hypersonic wind tunnel is designed to generate a hypersonic flow field in the working section, thus simulating the typical flow features of this flow regime - including compression shocks and pronounced boundary layer effects, entropy layer and viscous interaction zones and most importantly high total temperatures of the flow.
Portion of the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel in 2014. Construction of this facility began in 1950-1951 and continued until 1955. Because no one wind tunnel could meet all the demands for additional research facilities simulating the entire range of aircraft and missile flight, NACA chose to build the Ames tunnel with three separate test sections drawing power from a common centralized power plant.
One project, funded by the US Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) uses experience from hypersonic wind tunnel tests to improve CO 2 capture from power plants. [15] [16] Another 2010 project uses GASL expertise in managing hydrogen to develop storage systems for hydrogen vehicles. [17]
Ft. McArthur Tunnel Complex: an abandoned World War II network connecting fortifications in San Pedro, CA. [10] The Lawson Adit is a tunnel constructed underneath UC Berkeley into the Berkeley Hills in the early 1900s for student mining research.

Since then, China has continued to advance its science and technology and is now home to the world’s most powerful hypersonic wind tunnel, the JF-22, which can simulate the conditions in which a ...
In 1967, Congress granted approval for the construction of Tunnel 9. The facility became operational in 1976 and has since been providing aerodynamic simulation in critical altitude regimes associated with strategic offensive missile systems, advanced defensive interceptor systems, and hypersonic vehicle technologies.
California’s water agency released a final report Friday on the controversial plan to build a tunnel beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The highly anticipated document is expected ...
