 science, wind tunnel

Aerodynamic Research Center of National Aviation University of Ukraine

The complex consists of two wind tunnels. The closed-circuit tunnel (annulus) TAD-1 is designed for research of aerodynamic characteristics of short takeoff and landing and other aircrafts. Its working section is of 4,0´4,0´10,5 m sizes and maximal flow speed is 72,5 m/s.

Aerosol tunnel of straight-flow type TAD-2 is designed for agrophysical research of atmospheric phenomena influence into aircrafts flight dynamics and also for research of wind load on industrial objects. Its working section is of 4,0´2,5´5,5 m sizes and maximal flow speed is 42 m/s.

Spectrum of aerodynamic research objects and their parameters is quite wide: from aircrafts to different build constructions as well as different transport and sport objects.

TAD-2 Wind Tunnel

TAD-2 is 4 by 2.5 meters low speed wind tunnel, which is the largest in Ukraine. It is used for investigation of aerodynamic and dynamic characteristics of aerospace and industrial objects for companies, individuals, and the government. Revenue generated by commercial testing helps fund undergraduate use of the facilities and research as well as experimental technique and equipment update.
Wind tunnel TAD-2 NAU received status of national property of Ukraine according to the enactment of Minister of Ukraine № 665-р from December, 27, 2006.

Now wind tunnel TAD-2 is the main facility of the Aerodynamic Research Center of NAU
