    A black-and-white archival photograph from NACA (predecessor to NASA) at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, showing a U.S. Navy biplane mounted on a test rig inside a large wind tunnel facility. The aircraft, marked 'U.S. NAVY' and 'ANACOSTIA' with designation 'SU-2' or similar, is elevated on a support structure within the massive test section of the Full-Scale Tunnel. A single person standing near the base provides scale, illustrating the enormous size of the facility.

    Vought SU-2 Corsair: The Vought SU-2 Corsair was originally designated the O3U-4, but was reassigned to the scout category of naval aircraft. This SU-2 was tested in Langley's 30 x 60 Full Scale Tunnel in 1934. The enclosure around the engine is not the Langley-developed NACA cowling, but the less efficient Townend ring cowling.
