Tony’s Hangar: engineering, tested at full scale
Mechanical engineering student Tony Jürgens documents projects in experimental aerodynamics and electric aviation, from a hand-built wind tunnel to aircraft cockpit hardware.
- For
- Aerospace engineering recruiters and experimental aerodynamics teams
- Worth noticing
- The wind-tunnel project reports roughly 70–90 data points per run and checks stall angles against video.
Field notes
The wind-tunnel section traces the apparatus from a SolidWorks design to a hand-built tunnel with a transparent test section, flow straighteners, and interchangeable 0°, 20°, and 40° flap sets. It describes calibration against known masses and reports stall-angle changes from roughly 15° to 25° across configurations. The force-balance project says its 43-run calibration follows NASA-published methodology; its analysis is still under way in the supplied excerpt.
