NASA’s Newest Wind Tunnel Builds on Legacy of Innovation
Honoring the past, powering the future: NASA’s newest wind tunnel, the Flight Dynamics Research Facility (FDRF), replaces two iconic wind tunnels, advancing the same pioneering spirit that shaped aircraft, spacecraft, and exploration for decades. In this behind the scenes video, filmed while the facility was still under construction, you’ll hear how the FDRF will combine and expand the capabilities of NASA Langley Research Center's 12-Foot Low-Speed Tunnel and 20-Foot Vertical Spin Tunnel. Mike Fremaux, retired chief engineer for the Intelligent Flight Systems division at NASA Langley, explains how the FDRF carries forward Langley's legacy of innovation.
