First wind tunnel measurements

UAV flying in front of the active grid

In October 2022, a first measurement campaign was conducted in the wind tunnel of ForWind in Oldenburg. The wind tunnel has an active grid that can be used to generate a variety of different turbulent wind fields and several kinds of gusts. Here, different UAVs and different UAV setups were calibrated, and the measurement performance in different scenarios was investigated.
