A remotely controlled measurement system for education and training of experiments in wind tunnel

In this paper an integrated system to access the wind tunnel CT1 (calibration tunnel number 1) sited at CIRA (Italian Aerospace Research Center), through a scalable networking infrastructure and supporting multimedia technology, is presented. The reliability and scalability of the architecture proposed allows the execution of complex tests in a remote laboratory without the presence of operators on site. The system represents an e-learning support where the instructor and the students, connected to a related Web site, can execute an experiment in real-time.
