Underpinning of wind tunnel
Modification of 19 ft pressure wind tunnel at Langley airfield so that it would operate under near vacuum conditions; necessary stiffening of steel tunnel shell doubled tunnel's previous deadweight of 3000 tons; underpinning, needed by additional load, was provided by employing 2 types of piles with different stiffnesses and capacities.
