Installed in May 1997, the UC Davis Aeronautical Wind Tunnel is used for both academic instruction and university affiliated research. The AWT is an open circuit tunnel with a 33.6" x 48" closed test section. A 125 horsepower motor produces a maximum velocity of 165 mph through the test section.
Turbulence levels have been determined to be < 0.1% throughout the velocity range. A pyramidal balance measures all six force and moment components over a wide range of angle of attack and angle of yaw.
