The ARL transonic wind tunnel is described. Originally built as a conventional subsonic high-speed tunnel it was converted in 1957 to transonic operation, and has been in operation since that time. It is a continuous flow, closed circuit tunnel with an electric drive system whose maximum power input is 2050 kW. The test section is 0.81 m high and 0.53 m wide. It is fitted with slotted walls and uses diffuser suction, covering a Mach number range of 0.4 to 1.4.
