Wind tunnel tests aircraft design. S.D. West of the aerodynamics section of the Bureau of Standards demonstrates the "wind tunnel" for testing aircraft design. Most airplanes submitted to the Department of Commerce for approval employ standard types of controls. To ascertain whether the safety of planes can be increased by small modifications of the controls, the Bureau makes studies of the performance of small airplane models in the "wind tunnel," 1/31

The Douglas A-24 (Dauntless) light dive bomber, is the Army counterpart of the Navy SBD, with certain modifications to meet Army requirements. It was designed for dive-bombing operations against ground troops and installations. It is equipped with slotted diving flaps to decrease air speed and obtain greater accuracy. The Dauntless is more maneuverable than the German Stuka and is capable of carrying heavier bomb loads

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft rolls to a stop with its piggyback cargo orbiter Atlantis at the Shuttle Landing Facility. In the background is the Vehicle Assembly Building. Atlantis returns home after a 10-month stay in the Palmdale, CA, orbiter processing facility undergoing extensive inspections and modifications. They included several upgrades enabling it to support International Space Station missions, such as adding an external airlock for ISS docking missions and installing thinner, lighter thermal protection blankets for weight reduction which will allow it to haul heavier cargo. The flight from Palmdale included a fueling stop in Ft. Hood, TX, and overnight stay at Ft. Campbell, KY. Atlantis will undergo preparations in the Orbiter Processing Facility at KSC for its planned flight in June 1999 KSC-98pc1162
