A vertical wind tunnel (VWT) is a wind tunnel that moves air up in a vertical column. Unlike standard wind tunnels, which have test sections that are oriented horizontally, as experienced in level flight , a vertical orientation enables gravity to be countered by drag instead of lift , as experienced in an aircraft spin or by a skydiver at ...
