The aerodynamic performance of vehicles has been investigated by developers and designers. In this way, starting from mathematical models, it is possible to use vehicle prototypes mockups on a smaller geometric scale to test aerodynamic forces in a wind tunnel. However, the cost and availability of access to wind tunnels are restricted. In this sense, the objective of this work is to develop a low-cost academic wind tunnel for capturing images and laboratory studies of air flow, aerodynamics, speed and identifying laminar and turbulent air regimes. The methodology included bibliographic research in international sources to identify the types of wind tunnels on the market, limits, applications and complexity. After the study and virtual tests, an experimental tunnel with an open circuit was built to facilitate its development, construction and operationalization. The results found allowed the identification of flow regimes and aerodynamic principles. It is concluded that the type of wind tunnel and sizing calculations defined, the prototype demonstrated itself as an alternative for the teaching-learning process in practical classes in laboratories, for students to build, test and visualize the types of fluid movement, simulating in a wind tunnel.
