Supersonic Tunnel Associtation, International

The primary purpose of the Supersonic Tunnel Association is the sharing of information concerning facility operation, instrumentation, and test techniques.

The Supersonic Tunnel Association, International was formed in April 1954 to provide an organization for operators of high-speed aerodynamic testing facilities. "International" was added in 1996 to better reflect the current worldwide makeup of the organization. The original, and still primary, purpose of the organization is the sharing of information concerning facility operation, instrumentation, and test techniques. More recently, the scope has broadened to include compressible fluid mechanics research outside the more traditional areas of wind tunnel testing. From the beginning, we have believed that sound personal relationships are a valuable foundation for technical communication, and our meetings offer the opportunity to meet and interact personally with our peers worldwide.
