The Research Machine Shop exists to support research at NIAR, WSU and beyond. The staff's intimate knowledge of the wind tunnels and other research tools greatly increases the shop's value and efficiency.The shop was established in 1944 to support the local aviation industry. It aided in the construction of the first Walter H. Beech Wind Tunnel and recently played a similar role during the tunnel’s modernization.Whether it’s providing detailed wind tunnel models or building tools for the Composites Laboratory, the Research Machine Shop is constantly lending a helping hand to those who need it.
