Pressure Wing

About Pressure Wing

Overview

A precision airfoil-based pressure measurement model designed for studying pressure distribution and aerodynamic characteristics across a wing section. Based on the Clark Y-14 airfoil, the model enables detailed analysis of lift generation, pressure coefficients, and flow behavior in wind tunnel testing.
