Would be interesting to see what sort of price the Win Tunnel would have to be charged out at to be a stand-alone going concern. The proposition is that it's cheaper than other facilities, both capital and revenue, because it only goes up to about 60mph (~27m/s), whereas typical 'low speed' wind tunnels designed for automotive and architecture users go to anywhere from 50-100m/s. As we all know by now, twice the speed means 8 times the power, so the installed air moving plant at a 100m/s wind tunnel even of the same area as the Win Tunnel must be huge.

Specialized? Not sure whether the Win Tunnel boys have the resources to stretch a Shiv and test it. If I win £87M on the lotto on Tuesday, I'll do it myself.
