The facility is devoted to aerodynamic and propulsion integration testing of large-scale aircraft models.

The 16-foot-square, 40-foot long test section can simulate unit Reynolds numbers from approximately 0.03 to 7.3 million per foot or altitude conditions from sea level to 76,000 feet.

The tunnel can also test air-breathing engines and rockets through the use of a scavenging system to remove exhaust from the flow stream.

The facility can simulate unit Reynolds numbers from approximately 0.1 to 2.4 million per foot or altitude conditions from 43,000 to 154,000 feet.

The tunnel can simulate altitudes from sea level to 98,000 feet and can provide Reynolds numbers up to 7.1 million per foot.
