This paper presents a number of aeroelastic wind tunnel models developed for educational purposes. The models have been conceived in order to exhibit simple “textbook”flutter mechanisms at low wind speed and with a particular emphasis on requirements such as ”time-to-accuracy” and ”dollar-to-accuracy”. The main motivation to present the models is the enthusiastic response by the students, which let us regularly showcase the wind tunnel test in the framework of the Aeroelasticity course at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. However, we also wish to point out that these expendable low-cost models may represent an extremely effective means to investigate aeroelastic phenomena, as the structural failure.of the model is perfectly acceptable.
