HOW WIND TUNNELS WORK
A wind tunnel is a machine used to fly aircraft’s, missiles, engines, and rockets on the ground under pre-set conditions. With a wind tunnel you can chose the air speed,…
SUPERSONIC WIND TUNNELS
DESCRIPTION Employing a unique nozzle design, all AEROLAB supersonic wind tunnels offer “on-the-fly” Mach number adjustability. Virtually all Aerospace and Mechanical engineering curricula include courses in compressible flow. For students,…
TRANSONIC WIND TUNNELS
DESCRIPTION Using compressed air, AEROLAB Transonic Wind Tunnels offer running speeds of M=0.3 to M=1.3. Employing variable test section porosity, computer-controlled valves, chokes and flaps, target airspeeds are easy to…
Blowdown Wind Tunnel
Wind tunnels are designed for a specific purpose and speed range. Therefore, there are many different types of wind tunnels and several different ways to classify wind tunnels. In this section of the website…
High Speed Wind Tunnel (HSWT)
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control’s High Speed Wind Tunnel (HSWT) is a testing facility that characterizes the behaviors of aerospace products. It is a 4x4 foot tri-sonic blow down…
The Vectoflow calibration wind tunnel
Calibration Process Professional calibration of a probe is essential to achieve reliable measurement results. A calibration defines the relationship between the pressure at the probe head holes and the measured…
Wind tunnel measurements
pressure distribution This is used for studying pressure distribution across various models such as Airfoil, cylinder, special purpose shapes . It contains 13 Nos. Of tubes mounted on board with…
Physical parameters
A large number of physical parameters determine aerodynamic forces and moments. Specifically, the following parameters are involved in the production of lift. The distribution of the pressure coefficient integrated along…
