Title
Pathfinder I with Pressure Wing
Full Description
NASA technician W.L. Jones inspects a transport model Pathfinder I between
test runs at Langley's National Transonic Facility (NTF). The stainless steel
model is representative of the next generation of subsonic transports. With the
help of super-cold nitrogen and high pressure, the NTF is the first major wind
tunnel that can simulate full scale aerodynamic flight conditions.
