Well after staying up half the night studying every prototype trycycle jet of the '40's-50's...and using the last of my collectible Pervetin tablets... WHAT's this?

I'm trying to visualize that.

First this I thought of was a jet exhaust but instead I'm going to guess some type of wind tunnel.

Could also be an afterburner on a jet.

Will be interesting to know the answer.
