Tunnel 9 receives a much needed refresh

An extensive outage for maintenance occurs at Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 once every five to ten years. After a complete tear down and refurbishment, the facility’s operation and maintenance staff rig one of nine high-pressure control valves in order to lift it into place. These valves are uniquely designed to handle the volumetric flow rates of the wind tunnel. (Photo by AJ Spicer)
