AEDC wind tunnel modernization benefits from ‘in-house’ fabrication capabilities

Tom Hartvigsen (left), a test system designer with the ATA Technology and Engineering Analysis Branch, and Derrick Burton, a Model Shop machinist with the ATA Test Support Branch, assemble parts that were fabricated by the shop for the new pitch boom mechanism for the Propulsion Wind Tunnel four-foot transonic wind tunnel (4T) Captive Trajectory Support (CTS) System. The pitch boom mechanism controls the pitch, yaw and roll movement of a bomb or missile when it separates from the aircraft during a flight simulation test at altitude conditions.
