Low speed wind tunnel[edit]

Apparently there is a low-speed 120x80 wind tunnel at Nasa Ames, but this article doesn't seem to mention it. I have a photo (as I'm sure is easily got, since I only drove past as a fluke) Ka ro ra 11:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

downrate and reference improvement[edit]

Tag in article indicates it is based on a NPS webpage that is "public domain". I assume that as is the case for similar articles with similar tags, that means material in this article is cut and pasted, constituting plagiarism but not copyright violation. I tagged article with "refimprove" and downrate to Stub for now. Please improve the article by comparing carefully to source webpage, removing or quoting all copied phrases, so that removal of the NPS tag is justified. Of course, if it is copied, having the NPS tag acknowledging that is better than asserting, implicitly, that the article does not include copied material. It would be reasonable for an editor to blank the article and start over, IMHO, too, but editing the article to improve it would be better. doncram (talk) 23:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editor Kudzuvine has created new articles on several other wind tunnels that are NHLs in Virginia. I am now going to heavily rework this page, per comments above, and invite Kudzuvine's assistance. doncram (talk) 15:53, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
