After 63 years of research across the entire flight range, NASA Langley Research Center's 16-Ft. Transonic Wind Tunnel is running its final test.

Many spacecraft have been tested there:-

X-15, Apollo, Reusable Launch Vehicle, Shuttle and X-43

Didn't Max Faget undertake some studies usingthe Tunnel for Mercury spacecraft as well ?

All times are CT (US)
