Decommissioned Mach 8 tunnel removed to make room for future test opportunities

The infrastructure seen here is all that remained of Tunnel E at the von Kármán Gas Dynamic Facility on Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., prior to the start of its demolition in early 2022. Absent are the critical Mach 8 nozzle and test section components, as well as the unique magnetic model support system. Operational beginning in 1959, Tunnel E was a pilot facility for Tunnels B and C, which are still active wind tunnel test facilities today. (U.S. Air Force photos)

Marshall Brown, a former AEDC engineer, checks a model suspended in the Tunnel E wind tunnel at Arnold Air Force Base in January 1972. In Tunnel E, a magnetic model support system (MMSS) was used, which eliminated the need for strut or sting supports that generated unwanted disturbance in the wakes of the model. Models weighing up to 20 pounds could be tested with the MMSS. (U.S. Air Force photo)
