: What is the blower tunnel Tony?
It is a open wind tunnel where effectively you park your bit of kit to be tested in fast airstreams. We have used it since the end of the war for testing ejection systems, canopies, windscreens....in fact anything. The four merlins are mounted axially, each driving a huge prop in a duct.....cool!
