Steady Laminar Flow
Mimics the constant flow you would see in a traditional wind tunnel, which is great for evaluating aerodynamics.
Turbulent Flow
Ideal for simulating the conditions an aircraft is likely to face in its work environment due to weather and topology.
Shear Flow
Describes a wind profile where adjacent layers of fluids move parallel to each other at different speeds.
Time Variable Flow
Ideal for simulating the conditions an aircraft is likely to face in its work environment due to weather and topology.
Wind Gust
Sudden changes in wind speed can be challenging for an aircraft to navigate. Gusts can be simulated by rapidly fluctuating the wind speed.
The 2 x 2 Windshaper uses the WindControl software, controlled manually or with a Python API. The legend at the far right indicates the power supplied to each wind pixel (fan unit).
The Series 1580 Propeller Test Stand uses the RCbenchmark software. Control the propeller manually or with automated scripts. Data is recorded and can be exported as a .CSV file.
