Designs include force and moment models, pressure models, inlet models, drop stores, powered models, and pyrotechnics. Designers use state-of-the-art solid modeling tools and finite element analysis to develop complete, detailed model designs for use in the HSWT and other facilities.
Our experienced staff is capable of executing all testing requirements - from instrumentation and model design to final data reduction. Tunnel access during a test is controlled in accordance with the customer’s instructions. As a government contractor, government-approved policies are in place for protecting proprietary and classified information. To protect our customers, wind tunnel data is handled with the utmost security. Propulsion (wind tunnel and bench testing).Jet engine base-flow simulation using high pressure gas.Pressure measurements (up to 240 locations).Store separation testing to include free separation and captive trajectory.Flutter analysis including digital high speed video.Jet interaction testing of maneuvering thrusters.Located in Dallas, Texas, the HSWT administers a wide variety of critical testing to advance new aerospace developments, including: The HSWT has completed over 1650 tests for customers in the aviation, defense and space industries since opening in 1958. It is a 4x4 foot tri-sonic blow down wind tunnel with a Mach number range of 0.3 to 5.0. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control’s High Speed Wind Tunnel (HSWT) is a testing facility that characterizes the behaviors of aerospace products.
