So versatile and practical is the wind tunnel that it is called upon for all kinds of research tasks. Above, a mockup of the Vought-Sikorsky V-173, set up in Langley s full-scale wind tunnel in 1941. Below, a submarine model mounted in the same tunnel in the 1950s; since air and water have comparable flow characteristics, a boat's performance under water could be predicted in such tests. (LaRC)
