The NASA Glenn Research Center Learning Technologies Project supported a project, between 1993 - 1996, in which high school students built a small sub-sonic wind tunnel to use in the classroom to demonstrate aeronautical principals. The goal of this project was to advance the students' level of understanding in the areas of math and science.

Information about this project is summarized below:

• Vision in Aeronautics
  • A Vision in Aeronautics Report - Word Document
  • A Vision in Aeronautics Lessons - Word Document
  • Technical Disclaimer
• Barberton Wandering Wind Tunnel
• Aviation High School Wind Tunnel

Here's some additional Wind Tunnel designs that can be built. All of these links will take you out of the NASA domain, so use your browser "Back" command to return here.
