Continuous wind tunnel, closed circuit, variable density, with slotted or perforated top and bottom test section walls (12% open).
Typical tests
– Configuration studies, database creation (civil and military transport aircraft, fighters,
spacecraft)
– Engine integration studies by means of Turbofan Propulsion Simulators (TPS) for air
turbines or propellers
– Air exhaust simulation with compressed air
– Internal and external air intake surveys
