The 9 m x 9 m Low Speed Wind Tunnel facility is located on the National Research Council (NRC) campus adjacent to the Ottawa International Airport. In operation since 1970, the facility serves the aerodynamic testing requirements of government agencies, research institutes and private companies, in addition to supporting ongoing internal R&D activities at the NRC Institute for Aerospace Research (NRC Aerospace). Major renovations were recently carried out on its fan drive, balance weigh-beam controls and data acquisition systems, as well on important mechanical components such as the cooling system and main drive shaft components.
