About
Float, spin, sink, hover and fly – invent your own flying contraptions and set them aloft with our Wind Table! Test how different shapes and materials behave in the wind stream to explore the physics of flight, air resistance and drag.
At home
You can build your very own wind tunnel at home with the Wind Tunnel DIY guide!
