Since an aircraft can’t reach those speeds with a propeller, it follows that a wind tunnel cannot be driven by propellers, fans, or any such device, and exceed Mach 1 wind speed, either.

The small wind tunnel with a 16-by-16 inch test section is a low speed, open return tunnel, as shown in Figure 1. It is mainly used for airfoil section tests and teaching. he velocity is up to 50 m/s.

The basic research wind tunnel at Western Michigan University's applied aerodynamics laboratory is shown schematically in Figure 1. It was donated by General Motors. This tunnel will be set up as long ...

However, there’s nothing stopping you building a wind tunnel of your very own, and it may even be easier than you think! [Jude Pullen] has whipped up just such a design with DIY in mind.
