Even small improvements in performance of a high-lift system can
significantly improve the take-off field length, weight carrying capability,
and range of a transport aircraft. But making improvements is not easy, because of the complex
airflow issues encountered when flaps and slats are extended from a wing.

Row 44 in Exclusive Deal With Hughes Network Systems to Offer Broadband Access for Airlines

"Unlike conventional wind tunnels, the National Transonic Facility can
duplicate the aerodynamics of the flight environment, even with small scale
models," said facility chief aerodynamicist Rich Wahls.
The National Transonic Facility is a unique wind tunnel developed by NASA
that uses super cold nitrogen gas at high pressure to duplicate true flight
aerodynamics.

The improvements can also help reduce
aircraft noise. It can accommodate models as small as one-fiftieth the size of
