Britain's newest, largest and most advanced wind tunnel is now in use at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Bedford. It is employed for fundamental research and for tests on models of aircraft and missiles. The working section consists of two flexible top and bottom plates 64 ft. 8 in. long and 8 ft. wide, supported between side walls 62 ft 6 in. long and 8 ft. 6 in. high, forming a rigid structure weighing 400 tons. Both theflexibleplates and the side walls of the tunnel are protected by 'Araldite' epoxy resinsyet another vitally important use for these tough, flexible coatings combining remarkable adhesive properties with outstanding resistance to corrosion.
