The GUNT Open Wind Tunnel is an Eiffel-type aerodynamic trainer designed to study and measure flow behavior around models in a controlled airflow environment. The stationary test model experiences airflow generated through a precision nozzle, simulating real aerodynamic conditions. Ideal for teaching and research in aerodynamics, this wind tunnel supports advanced experiments on lift, drag, and pressure distribution.
Product Features
- Classic Eiffel-type open wind tunnel for aerodynamic flow experiments
- Air is drawn from the environment and accelerated to flow around test models like aerofoils
- Diffuser decelerates air and axial fan returns it to the environment efficiently
- Carefully contoured nozzle and flow straightener ensure uniform, low-turbulence velocity distribution
- Square cross-section measuring section designed for consistent airflow and accurate model placement
- Built-in axial fan with outlet guide vane system and variable-speed drive for energy-efficient operation
- Achieves air velocities up to 28m/s for high-performance aerodynamic tests
- Electronic two-component force sensor digitally detects and displays lift and drag values
