About this work
New wooden fan blades being prepared for installation in the Altitude Wind Tunnel at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory. The facility underwent a major upgrade in 1951 to increase its operating capacities in order to handle the new, more powerful turbojet engines being manufactured in the 1950s.
