Wind Tunnel
Low Speed Wind Tunnel
Low Speed Wind Tunnel is one of the most advanced wind tunnels in the region. LSWT is a closed-circuit type with a rectangular Test section. The LSWT is constructed to meet the high demand of Testing from aircraft development sectors and research. It is also widely used for investigations of aerodynamic characteristics of flight vehicles and their elements using special equipment & instruments.
