They were encouraged to complete the worksheets by hand in class and thenwork on Spatial Vis™ in class or on their own time outside of class. Each student was alsoloaned a small set of snap cubes that they could use to build the shapes on the worksheets and inthe training modules to help them visualize different views and rotations of these shapes. Duringthe classes covering the module on orthographic views, clear boxes and markers were providedto students for placing the snap cube objects in the box and sketching the orthographic views onthe sides of

This was the first wind tunnel Page 15.594.3that could operate at pressures higher than atmospheric, which allowed higher Reynolds numbersto be achieved at lower velocities. By the 1940’s supersonic wind tunnels were in use, eventhough Chuck Yeager had not yet broken the sound barrier. In 1972 a cryogenic wind tunnel wasbuilt at NASA Langley by injecting liquid nitrogen into the wind tunnel to cool the gas. Thislowered the viscosity and increased the Reynolds number, and this tunnel had the capability tomatch Reynolds and Mach numbers simultaneously up to Mach 1.2. Today the largest
