A calibration jet system using separate blower is developed to calibrate a flow sensor effectively. Designed open circuit type mini calibration jet system, which has the dimension of $0.5m(W){\times}1.17m(H)$ is small compared with conventional calibration jet systems. The exit of nozzle has exchangeable contractions with a cross section area of $38.5cm^2$ , and a cross section area of $113.1cm^2$, respectively. The ranges of wind speed at exit of exchangeable nozzles are $7.5{\sim}42\;m/s$ and $1.8{\sim}16.5\;m/s$, respectively. The input power for the high pressure blower is 1.18kW. The turning vanes for corner was rolled flat plate parallel to the flow direction. The flow conditioning screen was located immediately downstream of the wide-angle diffuser. The honeycomb and two flow conditioning screens were located in the stagnation chamber. From the economical point of view and the simplicity of the calibration jet system set up and handling, it can be said that the developed calibration jet system is an effective calibration jet system. This system can also be used to calibrate the flow sensor with high resolution.

A closed-circuit type wind tunnel is designed, which has a test section with the dimensions $1.2(W){\times}1.2(H){\times}3.4(L)$. A subsonic wind tunnel is designed to improves educational circumstances and promote ground tests. It is constituted of an exchangeable test section, first and second diffusers, a fan, a settling chamber, a contraction, and 4 corners. The maximum velocity in the test section is 70m/s and the contraction ratio is 6.25:1. Input power in the wind tunnel is about 96.1 kw (128.8 hp) and its energy ratio is 3.89. It has the dimension of about $7.4(W){\times}3.6(H){\times}21.7m(L)$. The wind tunnel designed in this investigation will be an effective educational and investigational equipment.
