About the Lab

This lab explores fundamental aerodynamics by measuring drag and lift forces on various 2D shapes in a low-turbulence suction wind tunnel. A variable-speed axial fan controls airflow, while precision sensors record forces at different angles of attack. Students analyze how these forces.

The experiment highlights key concepts like flow separation, stall conditions, and the relationship between angle of attack and lift generation. Real-time data visualization helps students connect theory with practical applications in engineering and design.
