Wind Tunnel Tour: U–M Department of Aerospace Engineering
Experience the extraordinary world of aerodynamics at the University of Michigan! This tour showcases its ten state-of-the-art wind tunnels. These facilities are central to the work of the Aerodynamics and Propulsion team, a dynamic group of professors, technicians, and students dedicated to advancing research and education.Explore the legacy of our facilities, such as the Subsonic Low Turbulence Tunnel built in collaboration with the US Air Force, renowned for its precise data collection and exceptional model viewing capabilities. This tunnel was even featured in a WNEM.com special report for its role in simulating tornado-like winds!Subsonic Instructional Tunnels are designed to give students hands-on experience with aerodynamics, and our compact 6-inch wind tunnels that provide invaluable classroom experiments. These setups help demystify the science of airflow and model testing.Check out the tech behind the wind tunnels, including advanced flow visualization techniques using helium bubbles, smoke, and high-speed cameras. See firsthand how we capture and analyze data with precision instruments and computer systems.
