Wind tunnel model production
Premium AEROTEC also possesses outstanding expertise in the construction of models for high-speed and low-speed wind tunnel testing. The models built at Varel in different take-off and landing configurations (e.g. wing flap positions) are used to test aerodynamic behaviour during different flight phases in the wind tunnel.
Wind tunnel model production, now a part of manufacturing systems at the Varel plant, is distinguished by 30 years of experience in the production of low- and high-speed aircraft models and of cryogenic aircraft models for full-scale and half-size mockups.
Wind tunnel model production comprises the following services:
- Processing, adaptation and modification of individual components
- Integration, assembly and completion of highly complex model components
- Processing of model surfaces
- Production and erosion of pressure distribution holes
- Integration of pressure distribution systems
- Integration of measurement systems
- Geometrical and optical 3D measurement of models
- Equipping of models, with takeoff and landing configurations
- Supervision of tests in international wind tunnels
- Construction, conversion and equipping of models for various test runs: take-off, landing and flight configurations
- Maintenance and re-working of wind tunnel models
