The wind tunnel which Ed and I designed and Ed's machinist coworker built for my aerospace class is almost ready. We tested it today and it works, and we got some good data. A few kinks need to be worked out, but we're almost there. Here it is, still in the machine shop at UConn. Can't wait to bring it to my classroom and run it with my students.

You can see our test airfoil here. There will be several airfoils that we'll have 3D printed.
All the data looks good and makes sense so far.
I'm pretty excited. I love being a nerd.
Peace
