Description

The awe inspiring and breathtaking Cell 3 blast nozzle. Has to be seen to be believed, so many people I know have seen images of this and doubted it really exists. Was capable of producing winds in excess of Mach 1 and is also located inside a sealable chamber where pressure could be lowered to simulate high altitude. The Typhoon aka Euro Fighter had its engines tested in here along with many other Military Aircraft. Went back down in here to reshoot these locations with the 7D. My 400d just doesn't cut it by comparison.
