NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) represents one of the largest collections of aeronautical research testing capabilities in the world. The center addresses a broad range of ground test requirements for both atmospheric and planetary flight vehicles with several major aerodynamic, aerothermodynamic, acoustic, hypersonic air breathing propulsion, and structural testing facilities.

The experimental facilities within Ground Facilities and Testing Directorate (GFTD) provide low cost research capabilities for developing an understanding of flow phenomena.
