Abstract :
In this paper an integrated system to access the wind tunnel CT1 (calibration tunnel number 1) sited at CIRA (Italian Aerospace Research Center), through a scalable networking infrastructure and supporting multimedia technology, is presented. The reliability and scalability of the architecture proposed allows the execution of complex tests in a remote laboratory without the presence of operators on site. The system represents an e-learning support where the instructor and the students, connected to a related Web site, can execute an experiment in real-time.
