:: Wind Tunnel Testing - The ultimate
performance evaluation—testing simulated events in a controlled
setting... |
 |
The ARC wind tunnel is a 50% scale, open jet, rolling
road design. All the components, from fan blades to its complex nozzle,
have been researched and developed to give the most accurate correlation
between wind tunnel results and on-track performance.
The acoustically insulated control room provides customers an eye-level
view of their model while running, allowing them to conduct their test
program with pinpoint accuracy and repeatability.
In addition to the technical support of the finest aerodynamicists,
ARC offers a variety of support services: model rental, test program
consultation, model setup, and model part construction. Available for
rental on a daily basis, the ARC Wind Tunnel has become a home to many
open wheel and NASCAR teams as well as manufacturers of high performance
car lines.
Our “state-of-the-art” model motion system allows for testing using
up to 14 force components and 5 axis of motion (automated heave, pitch,
roll, yaw and steer). Our data collection system is second to none.
