ITA Teaching and Research Wind Tunnel

The professionals who make up FanTR were responsible for developing, designing and manufacturing this wind tunnel, consolidating a legacy of engineering excellence and contributing directly to the advancement of experimental aerodynamics in Brazil.

Designed with a focus on versatility and precision, the ITA Teaching and Research Wind Tunnel has become an essential tool for academic and technological development in Brazil. With a test section that facilitates the installation of different experimental assemblies, it allows tests to be carried out on aircraft, wing profiles, rockets, automotive vehicles, buildings, ships and even the calibration of anemometers, guaranteeing highly reliable results.

Its low level of turbulence provides ideal conditions for highly sensitive experiments, and it is widely used both in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and in research and development projects for new products and methodologies.
