The NACA full-scale wind tunnel
A 1934 technical report from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, published in the United States and aimed at engineers and researchers, documenting its full-scale wind tunnel. The black-and-white photographs show the huge tunnel housing, aircraft mounted in its test section, and a plan drawing with dimensions. A designer could take the stark high-contrast black and white treatment, the bold curved forms of the tunnel mouth, and the dense scaffolding grid as strong graphic material.
