Several wind tunnels are housed in the Wind Tunnel Lab, which is primarily used for instruction.

Student laboratory work enabled by the facility includes flow visualization over airfoils, lift, drag and movement over a complete airplane model, pressure distribution over an airfoil, boundary layer study, propeller performance and drag over three-dimensional bodies.

A state-of-the-art low-speed tunnel is also located in the Wind Tunnel Facility at the Embry-Riddle Research Park.

Equipment

• Two-dimensional smoke tunnel used for flow visualization studies
• Subsonic open return tunnel with a force and moment balance, which allows students to study aerodynamic flows
