Mini Wind Tunnel – DIY Kit

Short Product Description

A hands-on aerodynamics lab that lets kids test airplanes, observe airflow, and understand how lift works! This DIY wind tunnel brings real aerospace science into your home or classroom.

What’s Inside the Box

• Laser-cut wooden frame components

• Transparent PETG airflow tube

• High-speed fan module (safe, low voltage)

• Airflow stabilizing rods

• Foam test aircraft models

• Wiring set + switch

• Wooden base panels

• Illustrated instruction manual

How It Works

Kids assemble the tunnel frame, fit the transparent tube, and connect the fan.
Once powered on, the fan generates steady airflow inside the tunnel.
Placing the foam plane on the testing platform lets kids observe:

• Lift vs. Drag

• Wing angle effects

• Stability changes

• How real aircraft are tested in labs

They can adjust angles and airflow to see how aircraft behavior changes — just like real aeronautical engineers!

What Kids Learn

• Fundamentals of Aerodynamics

• How lift, drag, and airflow work

• Basics of aerospace engineering

• Introduction to renewable energy airflow concepts

• Hands-on experimentation & observation skills

Perfect For

Ages 9–14
Ideal for young aviation enthusiasts, science fairs, STEM clubs, and classroom demonstrations.
