WIND TUNNEL MODEL DESIGN

AeroTEC has extensive experience designing and building wind tunnel models of varying complexity to meet customer requirements. Models can be designed and built for development as well as certification testing. We work closely with our customers to provide solutions based on their testing and certification requirements, in addition to meeting tight budget and schedule goals.

Our engineers implement a variety of materials and manufacturing processes to find the best balance between production cost, speed of manufacturing and accuracy through 3D printing & precision machining. Many of our design engineers have also lead test programs and understand the need for model designs that support efficient testing.

TESTING & PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

AeroTEC can provide more than just model design and fabrication – we can offer additional value by creating test plans, managing test programs and coordinating with wind tunnel facilities on behalf of our customers. Our engineers have built strong relationships with wind tunnels across the US and can recommend facilities based on customer and testing needs. Additionally, our design engineers can provide mid-test manufacturing support as well as data analysis of test results as needed.

To help our customers reduce cost, especially for tests traditionally conducted in expensive high-speed tunnels, we can perform CFD analysis using our advanced simulation tools to evaluate preliminary designs and allow for more focused wind tunnel testing to verify results and refine the final design.
