Soufflerie Hispano-Suiza

The Soufflerie Hispano-Suiza, constructed in 1937 by Haour Frères, is a reinforced concrete wind tunnel located at Mail de la Soufflerie, 92270 Bois-Colombes, France. Measuring 55 meters in length and 16 meters in width, it housed a fan with a diameter of 8 meters, capable of generating winds up to 325 km/h. Designed to replicate flight conditions near the ground, the tunnel ceased operations in the 1960s. Notably, the building features the stork emblem of Guynemer, symbolizing the firm's heritage. In 2005, the structure was converted into the La Cigogne school, preserving its historical significance.
