What is the capacity of the various wind tunnels (located in the USA), and where are they located?
I am trying to determine the maximum size of a model that can be be analyzed in the testing area of each tunnel.

The wind tunnel that Les Garber and I used to test autogyro blades and rotors is located at the U of Minnesota. St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Mississippi River at Third Avenue S.E. Minneapolis, MN 55414-2196. Phone: 612 627 4010.
It has a test section that is approximately 7.5 X 7.5 feet square. Air velocities are variable between 10mph-80mph. Cost per day (in 2000) was $850. There are photos of our set up in RCM August 2001, pp 70-76.
