Air flows and turbulences can be made visible in the wind tunnel. In addition, force sensors are used to measure both, lift and drag, at the same time. Together with the data, the students can answer various questions of aviation. Among other things, they learn why aircraft can fly and how the results of experiments with models in the wind tunnel can be applied to the real world.
