HOW CAN WE HELP?
Aerodynamic model measurements will support decision-making development processes based on measured data, rather than relying solely on extrapolation of calculations or experiences from other aircraft types. Aerodynamic model measurements provide reliable inputs for design, sensor integration, flight data interpretation, improved control over flight characteristics, operational safety, and certification risk assessment.
Our main contribution is a significant reduction in technical and programmatic risks, particularly for mechanical phenomena that cannot be reliably addressed solely by calculation. Experimental aerodynamics is important and cost-effective when strong flow interactions occur, nonlinear or unsteady phenomena are present, a high degree of confidence in results is required (safety, certification), or a large number of configurations are being tested (control surface deflections, angles of attack, trim settings).
