A large array of WindShaper fans is available for dynamic research on low-speed and hovering flights. The WindShaper is ideal for generating arbitrary wind gradients and wind gusts via a simple Python API. A WindProbe companion is also available for quick flow studies. The WindProbe uses the lab’s OptiTrack motion capture system to extract the position and orientation of the 5-hole conical probe located on the probe tip.

Large network of dynamic fans: 9’x7′, 1,134 fans arranged in 567 “wind pixels”

Wind speeds: 0 to 16 m/s (0 to 36 mph/31 knots)

Acceleration: 4 m/s2, Slow-down: 2.5 m/s2

• Each fan is programmable via a Python script

• Reproduces steady winds, gusts and wind gradients.
