Fourth-year students in the Department of Aviation Techniques Engineering at the Technical Engineering College – Al‑Kitab University—namely, Sajad Qaḥṭān Sājid Falīḥ al‑Samarra’ī, Muḥammad ʿAwād ʿAbd al‑Munʿim al‑Jamīlī, and Muṣṭafā Gharb ʿAwīd Suwayd al‑Dulaimī—have designed and fabricated a scientific apparatus for studying the effects of airflow on objects as part of an applied graduation project. This initiative aims to strengthen practical skills and enhance the college’s laboratory infrastructure.

The project was completed under the supervision of Professor Dr. Muḥammad Jāsim Muḥammad, Dean of the Technical Engineering College, who noted that this achievement constitutes a significant contribution to the advancement of scientific research. It supports the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Al‑Kitab University, and the students of the Department of Aviation Techniques Engineering—particularly benefiting the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, which will now be able to conduct a variety of experiments without relying on external facilities.

Responding to the laboratory’s need for a wind tunnel, the team successfully manufactured the device locally at a fraction of the cost of importing a comparable unit, while maintaining high levels of precision and performance. The project’s objectives include linking theoretical knowledge with practical application by analyzing airflow patterns and measuring lift and drag angles, pressure, and wind speed. In doing so, it offers students a genuine opportunity to acquire advanced research and engineering skills in their field of specialization.
