A reproduction of the 1903 Wright Flyer, built by Ken Hyde of the Wright Experience, gets a test run in the full-scale tunnel in March 2003. The tests confirmed the performance of the Flyer as documented by the Wright Brothers, and helped engineers measure important parameters such as lift-to-drag ratio, pitch control, and stall angle of attack.
