Information: - Aerospace is the human effort in science, engineering and business to fly in the atmosphere of Earth (aeronautics) and surrounding space (astronautics). Aerospace organisations research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain aircraft and/or spacecraft. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial and military applications. - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA ) is an independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. - The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation. A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred preserving the property. - Virginia (, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia) is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, as well as in the historic Southeast. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" due to its status as the first colonial possession established in mainland British America, and "Mother of Presidents" because eight U.S. presidents were born there, more than any other state. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city, and Fairfax County is the most populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's estimated population is over 8.3 million, which is slightly less than New York City. - Langley Research Center (LaRC) is the oldest of NASA's field centers, located in Hampton, Virginia, United States. It directly borders Langley Field and the city of Poquoson. LaRC has focused primarily on aeronautical research, but the Apollo lunar lander was flight-tested at the facility. In addition, a number of the earliest high-profile space missions were planned and designed on-site. - A wind tunnel is a tool used in aerodynamic research to study the effects of air moving past solid objects. A wind tunnel consists of a tubular passage with the object under test mounted in the middle. Air is made to move past the object by a powerful fan system or other means. The test object, often called a wind tunnel model, is instrumented with suitable sensors to measure aerodynamic forces, pressure distribution, or other aerodynamic-related characteristics. - The Full - Scale Tunnel ( abbreviated FST , also known as the 30 - by 60 - Foot Tunnel ) was a wind tunnel at NASA 's Langley Research Center . It was a National Historic Landmark . In 1929 , National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics began construction of the nation 's and the world 's first full - scale wind tunnel . The design team was led by Smith J. De France . The tunnel was completed in 1931 at a cost just under $ 900,000 . It was a double - return tunnel capable of moving air at speeds up to 118 miles per hour ( 190 km / h ) through its circuit . It had a 30 ft by 60 ft ( 9.1 m x 18.3 m ) open throat , which is capable of testing aircraft with spans of 40 ft ( 12.2 m ) . The wind tunnel is a double - return , atmospheric pressure tunnel with two fans powered by 4,000 hp electric motors . The tunnel was used to test virtually every high - performance aircraft used by the United States in World War II. For much of the war , when it was operational 24 hours a day , seven days a week , the full - scale tunnel was the only tunnel in the free world large enough to perform these tests . After the war , many types of aircraft were tested in the tunnel including the Harrier Jump Jet fighter , the F - 16 , the American supersonic transport , the Space Shuttle and Lunar Landing Test Vehicle . The wind tunnel was in use through the 2000s , modified to allow new testing procedures , such as free - flight and high angle of attack . It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985 . However , despite this designation and the efforts of some aviation historians , demolition of the tunnel began in 2010 . It was documented before its demolition , with the fan blades being salvaged for display . In 2014 its landmark designation was withdrawn and it was removed from the National Register of Historic Places . - A National Historic Landmark (NHL) is a building, district, object, site, or structure that is officially recognized by the United States government for its outstanding historical significance. Of over 85,000 places listed on the country's National Register of Historic Places, only some 2,500 are recognized as National Historic Landmarks. - Aeronautics (from the ancient Greek words "r", which means "air", and "nautik" which means "navigation", i.e. "navigation into the air") is the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere. The British Royal Aeronautical Society identifies the aspects of "aeronautical Art, Science and Engineering" and "the profession of Aeronautics (which expression includes Astronautics)."
