What the heck is this thing?
In a nutshell, a vertical wind tunnel consists of the following components: the power source, the jet, and the test section.
We are using a big old, honkin’ turbocharged diesel engine. Feel the power shake the tunnel. You’re about to go for the ride of your life on all that power!
The jet is being created by a modified Hamilton standard airplane propeller. Somewhere in the world there is a DC-3 wondering why it lost of one of its props!
And for the best part, the test section! Only we call it a flight chamber. This is where we are going to put you for the greatest experience you’re ever going to have! This is where the fun is! What this whole thing is about!
