Validation and Experimental Capabilities (VALEX)

该提案的主要目标是通过发展高速和低速空气动力学领域的实验能力以及在风洞设施内开发测试和模型制造技术来发展和提高英国的实验空气动力学能力。该项目有两个主要目标：提高英国菲尔顿低速风洞、ARA跨音速风洞和位于南安普顿大学的空中客车噪声技术中心的测试能力，以保持和提高它们在英国向客户提供高质量实验空气动力学数据方面的关键作用。提高英国模型制造能力。将在最先进的制造中开发各种技术和设备，以提高先进模型设计和制造工艺和技术的整体能力。

The main goal of this proposal is to develop and enhance experimental aerodynamics capabilities in the UK both by developing experimental competences in the field of high speed and low speed aerodynamics and by developing testing and model manufacturing technologies within the wind tunnel facility. There are two main objectives in this project:To advance the testing capabilities within the UK for the Filton Low Speed Wind Tunnel, ARA Transonic Wind Tunnel and the Airbus Noise Technology Centre based at Southampton University in order to maintain and increase their key roles in the UK in delivering high quality experimental aerodynamics data to their customers. To advance the model manufacturing capabilities within the UK. Various techniques and equipment will be developed in state of the art manufacturing in order to enhance overall capability in advanced model design and manufacturing processes and techniques.
