WindShear (NASCAR) Aerodynamic Wind Tunnel
Operations personnel utilize Test SLATE to orchestrate fully-automated test sequences that adjust wind speed, road speed, vehicle yaw against the airstream, and independent wheel ride height settings. Similar capabilities exist in proprietary Formula 1 wind tunnels, but not with the comprehensive automation available at Windshear. One of the key features of this application is the assurance of data security in response to the competitive nature of race teams, while providing each customer with real-time access to their data during testing to enable on-the-fly decisions. As the old saying goes, "time is money", so optimizing the utility of the data while a customer's car is in the test section is critical. |
The world's first commercially available aerodynamic wind tunnel with a rolling road surface provides 180 MPH wind and a 180 MPH moving ground plane for motorsports teams to fully simulate aerodynamic track conditions in a repeatable test environment. In addition to designing and building the facility.
