Visit the HEPIA wind tunnel - With Expanding Your Horizons - Workshops and courses

For girls aged between 10 and 18 A wind tunnel is a device used in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics research to study the behavior of fluids (usually air) around objects such as airplanes, motor vehicles, buildings, bicycles, motorcycles, and so on. This research is essential for improving the design, safety and performance of these objects.The wind tunnel is currently set up for experiments with racing bikes. During our visit, you too can try out the wind tunnel on a bike!
