-The wind tunnel is mounted on a steel base on wheels for mobility

-Working section of 310mm by 310mm and 600mm long

-The unit operates as an open circuit system

-Inverter controlled AC suction fan to drag the air flow through the working section

-Accurate speed control up to 40 m/s

-The duct incorporates a honeycomb flow straightener to even the direction of flow

-The working section incorporates three tappings on its top section to incorporate pitot tubes. These are located at the start of the working section, upstream and downstream of the model under test location
