The main one is a climatic wind tunnel with a four-metre diameter fan that can replicate speeds of up to 155mph, creating temperatures from -40 to 60 degrees, and rain and snow, all in one room. [Real-world] tests aren’t repeatable 100 per cent of the time either, but they can be done with the climatic wind tunnel.”Finally, next door to an altitude environmental wind tunnel. And of course, being able to do this from the tech centre reduces the need for on-road testing so more development can take place behind closed doors.
