A wind tunnel is a tube-shaped or tunnel-like chamber that contains a test platform and a large fan. The fan blows a steady stream of air through the chamber in order to determine the effects of wind ...

The Wind tunnel is powered by a 75kW centrifugal fan and is equipped with a series of large silencers to reduce the fan noise in the ductwork. The wind tunnel is equipped with a 40kW water cooled ...

The bottom openings are connected to ultra-quiet suction fans while the top openings allow natural air inflow. This unique feature prevents ingestion of self-turbulence and contamination of the ...

Aston Martin and Red Bull both have new F1 wind tunnels in the pipeline, while McLaren has recently finished its own. Thanks ...

French engine maker Safran Aircraft Engines and France's aerospace lab ONERA are testing a model called ECOENGInE, a 1:5 scale demonstrator of the open fan engine that could be used in the CFM ...

The transparent walls for observation are created out of acrylic, while a simple fan provides the necessary flow. The desk-sized wind tunnel can then be instrumented with a manometer, tachometer ...

The AWB provides the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) with a quiet wind tunnel that enables the very low-noise production of airflow at velocities of up to 60 ...

The H2K of the DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology in Cologne is a wind tunnel with a free-jet test section. The facility enables aerodynamic and aerothermal characterisation for scale ...

Here in the UK, the only available wind tunnel is in the Midlands at Horiba MIRA and as well as dating back to the ’60s it doesn’t feature a moving road. For UK vehicle manufacturers and race ...

A wind tunnel helps automakers to identify and minimize ... Not only were the squared wheel wells a point of contention among truck fans, but they were a remnant from a previous generation that ...

While recent simulations seemed to support Tesla’s claims, the best way to confirm Tesla's numbers is by testing a production Cybertruck in a wind tunnel. Independent test results are unlikely ...

Stellantis has invested $29.5 million to upgrade its testing wind tunnels to improve the range of its all-electric models. With any electric vehicle, aerodynamics play a major role in maximizing ...
