Wind Tunnels

Guided visit to two of Farnborough's listed wind tunnels: enormous structures which allowed the RAE to test the performance of its prototype aircraft in lab conditions, from 1931 to 1994. On the talk, you'll hear about how they were built and what research they contributed, particularly during the second world war and in the supersonic jet age.
