Photos

The article is illustrated with one nice pic. Note that the example is not a full-scale plane, however, belying (sp?) the name of the tunnel, which was used for full-size planes of many other models. Additional photos and/or photo uploads could improve the article.

HABS or HAER photos may be available for this site. Search HABS/HAER here
NRHP photos linked in article are indicated as NASA owned and in public domain and can be used. Search NPS focus here for highest resolution JPG versions
New photos would be helpful.

It is requested that a photograph be included in this article to improve its quality.

Cost of tunnel

The article cites a cost of $36,900,000, with no specific year. However, that seems like an enormous amount, and in fact Nasa's page at http://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/news/factsheets/30X60.html cites a budget of $900,000 (although the tunnel was built under budget). I assume this was converted to current inflated dollars, but without citing what "current" is the number has no meaning. -- Dan Griscom (talk) 02:50, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Property records at NASA Langley show costs at just under $900,000. An inflated cost should not be represented as the cost, unless you want to say something like a cost of $900,000 which would roughly equate to $36,900,000 in 2013.

The Model

It'd be interesting to know more about the SST model in the file photo. The combination of T-tail with a bullet fairing, plus variable-sweep wings, doesn't resemble any of the SST proposals of the time, and I can't find a second image of that design. Perhaps it was just a one-off mock-up. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 16:04, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
