NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton

NASA Langley Research Center
Established in 1917 in Hampton, NASA Langley Research Center focuses on the expansion of humans into deep space, revolutionizing airplanes, on-demand air transportation, and the air transportation system as a whole. The facility houses wind tunnels, flight simulators, aircraft test facilities, and other labs all in support of aeronautics and space exploration. NASA Langley houses the 9×15 Low Speed Wind Tunnel, the most utilized low-speed propulsion acoustic facility in the world. It is the nation’s only research establishment that can simulate take-off, approach, and landing in a continuous, subsonic-flow, wind-tunnel environment.
