and Bob Kufeld helped us understand the challenges of converting our field measurement turbine to a wind tunnel model. Thanks also to Bob Kufeld for rotating through our data collection stations to give us a break. Thanks to Janet Beegle and Joe Sacco for coordinating NASA resources. Thanks to David Nishikawa for incorporating last-minute changes to the NASA file format. Art Silva and Ben Bailey kept all the NASA instrumentation operating smoothly. Rob Fong continued to troubleshoot the balance scales until they worked. Thanks also to the crew on the first shift that initiated the walk-through process so that we could maximize our time in the tunnel. We appreciate Romy Montano for resetting the wind tunnel breakers when needed and Rusty Hunt for getting the tunnel ready to run after the motor rewind procedure.Without our colleagues at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), we would never have managed to prepare for the test and transport all the equipment. Jim Adams machined parts as they were designed. Scott Wilde, Andy Meiser, and Garth Johnson were instrumental in preparing the cargo container to hold all of the equipment and the turbine. Thanks also for bringing the turbine home.Lastly, we are grateful to the visionaries of the wind industry, particularly Sandy Butterfield, whose perseverance and persistence over the past decade resulted in a coveted time slot in this busy wind tunnel. Management support from Mike Robinson was also crucial in the success of this test.
