The Handley Page Laboratory
Our aeronautics laboratory is named after our most famous aeronautics lecturer, Sir Frederick Handley Page, a daring pioneer in 20th Century aircraft design. His invaluable contribution to the development of aeronautical education at City is one of the highlights of our 100 years of history.
The Handley Page laboratory, a unique, self-contained fluid dynamics and flight dynamics laboratory with experimental facilities for flows up to Mach 1.6 and unit Reynolds number 4.9 million. The laboratory houses both low speed and transonic/supersonic wind tunnels, a 16-processor PC cluster for computational fluid dynamic and structural analysis, two advanced flight simulators, a water tank and a supersonic nozzle rig.
