Wind Tunnels news

Airbus Defence and Space a sollicité l’ONERA pour étudier le comportement du dispositif de ravitaillement en vol des hélicoptères avec l'avion A400M par le biais d’essais en soufflerie. Des mesures par des méthodes optiques laser (PIV) ont permis de confirmer la pertinence aérodynamique des configurations testées.

The offer of the ONERA wind tunnel division is shown in this film made during tests performed for the Italian aircraft manufacturer Piaggio. From model manufacturing to wind tunnel testing, we introduce our sites at Lille, Fauga-Mauzac, Modane, and its experienced teams.

The Mach number test envelope of the ONERA S2MA transonic and supersonic wind tunnel will soon be continuous up to Mach number 3.1.

The new Mach number regulation at S1MA, sponsored by the European FP7-ESWIRP project, implements two complementary regulation components.

As part of a Carnot partnership research network project, the ONERA’s wind tunnels is developing a Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) at short response time.

Testing of a European Tilt-rotor project (Nicetrip) in the large S1MA wind tunnel of ONERA.

Delivery of the first A400M : ONERA reporting back on his participation in the program.

The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of existing actuators at ONERA Wind Tunnel Division for active flow control.
