The Soar! Wind Tunnel is a project I used for a science fair a few years ago (which happened to win :) ), and improved upon thereafter. It consists of building a small working wind tunnel and then testing different shapes of 3D-printed wing sections in it, to determine which design performs better by measuring the lift that they generate.
Included in this Thing are the instructions for building the wind tunnel, as well as the wing designs (.stl format) that I used. I also made .stls for the wing support structure: they slide together.
The Soar! Wind Tunnel can be used for more projects later on, such as to test lift in model airplanes, or downforce and drag on models of cars. All it takes is changing the position of the scale.
