Flight Demonstration Wind Tunnel | FluidoSurge-X 218
A CE-certified aerodynamics laboratory unit for flow visualisation, boundary layer studies, and lift/drag measurement, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Fluid Mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Flight Demonstration Wind Tunnel FluidoSurge-X 218 is designed for classroom demonstrations and student investigations into fixed wing aircraft behavior. It enables hands on study of take off, level flight, stall, and landing characteristics. The apparatus provides realistic flight control simulation within a transparent working section. It is suitable for aerodynamics and fluid mechanics laboratory instruction.
Product Overview
The SCIENTICO Flight Demonstration Wind Tunnel FluidoSurge-X 218 is an open circuit wind tunnel equipped with a suspended aircraft model in the working section. The model is supported by linkages that allow independent vertical movement and pitching about the quarter chord point. A fly by wire style control column and throttle enable manual control of airspeed and tail plane angle, simulating real aircraft flight behavior. Digital displays provide real time indication of air velocity, aircraft attitude, altitude, lift force, and tail plane angle. Air enters the working section through a honeycomb flow straightener to ensure stable flow conditions. Small tufts on the wing surface visualize airflow behavior, including separation and stall. An adjustable center of gravity mechanism allows trim studies and determination of the neutral point.

Construction & Design Details-
The aircraft model features a fixed main wing and an all flying tail plane controlled by a vertical only control column. The working section is fully transparent for unobstructed viewing. A honeycomb flow straightener minimizes turbulence at entry. The axial fan is located downstream to regulate airspeed smoothly. Tufts and optional smoke visualization enhance flow observation around the wing and tail plane.
Optional Software-
Optional data acquisition software FluidoSurge-X 218 is available. The software is developed in a LabVIEW™ environment and enables acquisition of air velocity, lift force, attitude, altitude, and angle data. It supports graphical visualization, data processing, and CSV report generation on Windows based systems. Electronic sensors required for software operation are supplied when the software option is selected.
Export & Supply Capability-
SCIENTICO manufactures the Flight Demonstration Wind Tunnel FluidoSurge-X 218 for domestic and international supply. The system is suitable for export to engineering colleges, universities, and aerospace training institutes. Standard packing and technical documentation are provided with each unit.
Accessories (optional)
Smoke Generator and Probe – Visualization of flow patterns past the aircraft’s aero foil and tail-plane.
