dc.description.abstract	When a flat plate mounted in the working section of a supersonic wind tunnel is inclined at an angle to the stream, there exists a region above the surface of the plate in which the Mach number is constant and different from the main stream value. In limited circumstances this region may be used as the test section and it is possible, by varying the angle of the plate, to obtain a continuous variation of test Mach number with the one fixed tunnel nozzle. This method of Mach number control can be particularly useful for making wind tunnel tests near M = 1.0.	en_US
