The paper reviews the results of some of the real-gas studies made at Langley that are directly related to establishing the range of operating conditions that can be used in a cryogenic nitrogen wind tunnel and still be assured of valid full-scale simulation. Consideration is given to the important aerodynamic features, anticipated performance capability, status of construction, and projected operating data for the National Transonic Facility.
