A Subsonic Wind Tunnel with a test section size of 300mmX300mm
for the study of pressure and velocity distribution and force
measurements on various models along with six component (three
forces and three moments) measuring device has been established.
For flow visualization studies Heleshaw Apparatus and Water Flow
Channel have been installed in this laboratory. 2.AIRCRAFT
STRUCTURES LABORATORY The objective of conducting the aircraft
structures laboratory is to make the students understand and
appreciate various principles and theorems involved in the
theory of aircraft structures, vibrations and experimental
analysis., by doing simple and advanced experiments and
analyzing the results. This will immensely help the students to
enrich their knowledge in the design of various aircraft
structural components, namely, wing fuselage, landing gear,
control surfaces etc. Special equipments like two-dimensional
photo-elastic set-up, fatigue-testing machine, electronic
stroboscopes, viscous damping set-up, forced vib
