This historical account of the research performed at NASA's Langley Research Center focuses on the wind tunnel testing of radical wings for prototypical or experimental aircraft, and notes how this work differed dramatically from the trial-and-error approaches prior to World War II. Both authors have written extensively about the history of NASA aerospace programs in the past, and they describe how the different wind tunnels at Langley were developed and modified throughout modern aviation history. Aviation and aerospace enthusiasts will appreciate the hundreds of photographs and illustrations of the testing facilities, as well as the biographies of the research scientists and engineers who helped to implement these innovations into existing aircraft design.
