Abstract: The flexible steel plate which forms the lower nozzle wall of the 40-in. Supersonic Tunnel of the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility was damaged in October 1961. A brief description of the damage and repair of the plate is presented with flow characteristics obtained during a calibration program conducted after completion of the repairs. The calibration showed that the uniformity of the test-section flow characteristics was not adversely affected by the repair which included the use of a pattern of bolt heads protruding above the surface of the plate in the subsonic region of the nozzle.
