A look back at one of the many engineering achievements that helped shape our legacy of innovation. In the 1950s, CB&I helped advance aerospace innovation by fabricating and erecting major sections of the NACA supersonic wind tunnel at Ames Aeronautical Laboratory in Moffett Field, California. Designed to produce wind speeds up to 3½ times the speed of sound, the facility supported groundbreaking research during the dawn of the jet age.
