NFAC team assesses flow quality in 40-foot by 80-foot test section

The test rig used to complete a recent flow characterization study at the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC) in Moffett Field, Calif., can be seen in the 40-foot by 80-foot test section of the facility. The rig is comprised of a multi-probe array that evenly distributes more than two dozen sensors through the primary area of interest in the tunnel cross section. During the multi-phased effort, updates were made to the existing flow calibration and characterization in the tunnel. The rig was designed and built by personnel at Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee, headquarters of Arnold Engineering Development Complex. NFAC is an operating location of the 716th Test Squadron, 804th Test Group, AEDC. (U.S. Air Force photo)

NASA recognizes NFAC team for overcoming challenges, delivering quality results

A portion of the Aerodynamic and Acoustic Rotoprop Test team pause for a photo in the 40- by 80-foot test section at the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex, located at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. Earlier this year, the AART team was named a recipient of the NASA Group Achievement Award. This certificate is awarded to any combination of government or non-government individuals for an outstanding group accomplishment that has contributed substantially to NASA’s mission. The team worked through challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to complete the first-ever urban air mobility rotor acoustic test program in NFAC. (U.S. Air Force photo)

White Oak Rescue Team stands ready should emergencies arise

Addison Spicer, left, and Cameron Butcher, current and former members of the White Oak Rescue Team (WORT), respectively, conduct confined space training. The team was established in the late 1990s at Arnold Engineering Development Complex Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 in White Oak, Maryland, to provide immediate lifesaving actions in the event of an emergency until county emergency responders arrive onsite. The WORT is trained to administer first aid, including CPR and automated external defibrillator, until the arrival of professional medical response personnel. (U.S. Air Force photo)

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)
