NASA’s Glenn Research Center utilizes a suite of specialized experimental facilities for aeronautics research. These include the 9 x 15 Foot Low-Speed Wind Tunnel, designed to conduct low-speed wind tunnel experiments. The Aero-Acoustic Propulsion Laboratory (AAPL) focuses on propulsion acoustics, while the Small Hot Jet Acoustic Rig (SHJAR) and Nozzle Acoustic Test Rig (NATR) are dedicated to hot jet acoustic testing. Researchers also employ the DGEN AeroPropulsion Research Turbofan (DART) and Acoustical Testing Laboratory (ATL). Scientists at these locations investigate various aspects of aircraft performance and noise reduction.
