World's Largest Wind Tunnel...

We felt very small while standing inside the world’s largest wind tunnel. At 80 feet by 120 feet, it is large enough to test a full-size 737 at speeds up to 120mph. Granted, we didn’t see it in action, but we were fortunate enough to have over an hour with Dr. Bill Warmbrodt, the Branch Chief of Aeromechanics since 1985 with a special interest in rotorcraft research. Needless to say, he bonded immediately with Jimmy, who just loves to meet another helicopter fan. After the wind tunnel, Bill took us over to a helicopter hangar. The girls especially enjoyed seeing the world’s largest remote controlled helicopter.
