I noticed that too. You could fit a full size car in that thing.
I really do hope it is more efficient.
Large wind tunnels use several MEGAWATTS of electricity.
I seem to remember ( was it Aerohead ?) someone posting that when some of these large scale / supersonic tunnels are powered up, the lights used to dim in the area, due to the power draw !
