Wind Tunnel Accessories Aerofoil
Wind Tunnel Accessories – Aerofoil are precision test models used in wind tunnels to experimentally evaluate aerodynamic characteristics such as lift, drag, and pitching moment. These aerofoils are designed with accurate geometric profiles to simulate real airfoil behavior under controlled airflow conditions, supporting reliable aerodynamic investigations.
They are commonly used in educational institutions, aerospace research laboratories, and industrial testing facilities for subsonic and low-speed wind tunnel experiments. The aerofoil models are manufactured with high dimensional accuracy and smooth surface finish to ensure minimal flow disturbance and consistent test results.
Materials such as aluminium alloys, composites, or high-grade engineering plastics are used to maintain rigidity and structural stability during testing. Standardized mounting arrangements allow easy installation, precise alignment, and controlled variation of angle of attack.
