  • 1 Combining Scale Models for the Best... in the Best Way

    Small vortices, which have a significant influence on energy dissipation, are evaluated separately using a scale model
  • 2 Ariane 5 and Ariane 6 at Fauga-Mauzac Testing Facilities

    A first firing was carried out in January 2011, at ONERA Fauga Mauzac centre, using the 1/35 scale model of an Ariane 5 P230 booster specifically developed to display the phenomenon of shock waves during lift off. This successful campaign will continue with acoustic measurement tests on a simplified 1/35 scale model of the ELA-3 launch pad
  • 3 Non conventional tests

    Low speed tests with non aeronautical related large scale models (train, sail boat, car, chair-lift, buildings). For no conventional test, please contact directly by e-mail wind tunnel division team (use contact button), we will study your project together
  • 4 Testing of a the NICETRIP convertible aircraft project in ONERA?s large wind tunnel S1MA

    These tests, performed on a large scale model, are part of the European project NICETRIP, of which the purpose is to study the technological feasibility of a civilian convertible aircraft. Future projects should allow a flight demonstrator to be made in Europe
