COLIN IS FLYING

Did you know that the longest flights of racing pigeons exceed 11.000 km? Maritime Advanced research Centre designed, delivered and commissioned a wind tunnel at the University of Swansea in Great Britain, used to study the secrets of the flight of these birds.
The first user of the tunnel was a pigeon named Colin.
A low-velocity open wind tunnel for studying the flight of live birds has been commissioned at the Swansea University research laboratory. The construction of the tunnel (blower type) allows for generating an air stream (5 ÷ 28 m/s) in the test section under ambient pressure conditions. The measuring space, made entirely of non-magnetic materials, allows observation and unlimited access to the tested bird.
The construction of the tunnel enables the test section to be tilted axially in the range from -1° to + 8° to simulate the climb and glide of the test bird.
