Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4328733· OSTI ID:4328733

Presented at the Eight Meeting of the Supersonic Wind- Tunnel Association, Seattle, Wash., Oct. 1957. The two control systems are compared for nominal stagnation pressures of 16 and 34 psia. The improved performance of system B has resulted in increased Mach number capability of the tunnel, improved Mach number control during a run, and an increase in the run frequency. (W.L.H.)
