The Dornier Wind Tunnel
Abstract
After completion of the required calibrations, the Dornier open-throat tunnel is now in operation. With an elliptic test section of 3 by 4 m (9.84 by 3.12 ft.), its length is 7 m (22.97 ft.), its maximum horsepower 800, and its maximum air speed 60 m/s (134.2 mph). As to local uniformity of velocity, static pressure as well as jet direction, and turbulence factor, this tunnel is on par with those of the good German and foreign research labs.
