Services / Design & Manufacture
- Computer Aided Design services: Specialist capability in wind tunnel model design for conventional and cryogenic wind tunnels worldwide.
- Precision Model Manufacture: Complex models are manufactured to high tolerances from a wide range of materials, hand finished and fitted to complete final assembly before delivery to the test facility, whether that is at ARA or a customer facility.
- Inspection: Using a range of equipment to check quality and conformity of model components and assemblies.
- Finite Element Analysis: A valuable capability in the design and manufacture of novel strain gauge balances used in wind tunnel testing.
- Strain Gauge Balance Design & Manufacture: Providing highly specialised skills in the design and manufacture of strain gauge balances, all of which are calibrated in the ARA Balance Calibration facility.
- Cryogenic Model Design & Manufacture: ARA has a long history of designing cryogenic models which require a much higher accuracy for surface finish and component fitting than standard wind tunnel models due to the nature of the tunnel test conditions and the data fidelity requirements.
