Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel
The Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel is a medium-scale wind tunnel located at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in Blacksburg, Virginia. With a test section measuring 6 ft by 6 ft (1.83 m x 1.83 m) and maximum wind speeds of approximately 262.6 ft/s (80 m/s), it is one of the largest university-owned wind tunnels in the United States,〔Fleming, J. (2010). Limited budgets can drive innovation. Wind Tunnel International, Retrieved from 〕 and is used for a wide variety of research projects within the college as well as being contracted out for commercial use, especially product testing. Professor (William Devenport ) is the current Director, and Dr. (Aurelien Borgoltz ) is the Assistant Director.
==History==
The Stability Wind Tunnel was first built by the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), the predecessor to NASA, at Langley Research Center in 1940. The wind tunnel was used by NACA for deriving the dynamic stability of fixed models for nearly two decades. In 1958, shortly after being declared surplus, it was acquired by Virginia Tech and was attached to the university’s Randolph Hall, where it was re-activated in 1961,〔Mason, W. H. (1989).

Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering, College of Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA, Retrieved from 〕 and remains active to this day, currently being operated by the Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering.〔Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel. (2013). Retrieved from 〕
