AEROLAB was founded in 1947 to fulfill the need for high-quality, affordable classroom educational tools.

AEROLAB’s first sale was an Educational Wind Tunnel (EWT) to the Academy of Aeronautics, currently known as Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology, in New York. In the nearly six decades that followed, the EWT has evolved to a high tech version of its predecessor, employing a state of the art LabVIEW based data acquisition and control system. It continues to be one of AEROLAB’s most popular standard products. In the nearly seven decades since that first delivery, the EWT has evolved into a high-tech version of its predecessor with modern instruments and extensive model sets available and employing a state of the art LabVIEW based data acquisition and control system. It continues to be one of AEROLAB’s most popular standard products
