Flight Demonstration Wind Tunnel | FluidoSurge-X 218

Key Features

Key Features-

• Open circuit wind tunnel for flight demonstration

• Transparent working section for clear observation

• Manual flight control using throttle and control column

• Adjustable center of gravity for trim and stability studies

• Digital display of velocity, lift, altitude, and attitude

• Wing tufts for visualization of airflow separation and stall

Experiments-

• Demonstration of take off, level flight, and landing behavior

• Study of longitudinal stability and control

• Measurement of lift curve up to and beyond stall

• Trim analysis and determination of neutral point

• Investigation of speed effect on attitude and stall

• Aerodynamics teaching and laboratory demonstrations

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.
