The Central Aerohydrodynamics Institute (TsAGI) is a major research and test complex involved in both basic and applied aerodynamic research. It is the world's largest aerospace center; it helped design and test every major Soviet fighter, airliner, and spacecraft. TsAGI has more than fifty aerodynamic test facilities, including a supersonic wind tunnel to test speeds up to Mach 1.7; a 24 meter subsonic wind tunnel; a 4,600 cubic meter thermal testing chamber that simultaneously checks temperature, pressure, and speed; and a 13.5 meter diameter, 30 meter long vacuum chamber for thermal strength testing.
