WINDTUNER  builds custom five-hole probes for exactly these situations. We take the customer's test geometry, access constraints, and flow conditions as the starting point, then design a probe that fits the setup rather than forcing the setup to accommodate the probe. Over ten thousand designs and more than a hundred thousand calibration records back up this approach.

Most wind tunnel campaigns are not one-off experiments. A typical program might run the same model at five Mach numbers with three model attitudes each. The scanner has to deliver the same uncertainty budget at the end of the week that it delivered on Monday morning.

A Pitot tube does not read airspeed directly. The Pitot tube’s head faces the flow and brings the air near the opening to a stop, turning part of the flow’s kinetic energy into pressure. The instrument measures that pressure state first.

Environmental wind tunnel pressure measurement is becoming more demanding as test facilities add temperature and altitude simulation to airflow testing. On July 10, 2026, the NAST environmental wind tunnel in Wuhan entered service for hydrogen-vehicle testing with an operating envelope that puts pressure acquisition inside a changing thermal and barometric environment.

A wind tunnel measurement system has to do more than collect pressure at a fixed point. A wake survey or compressor-stage test may require hundreds of positions, synchronized pressure channels, calibrated probe coefficients, and a clear flow map before the next model change. WINDTUNER brings the pneumatic probe, electric actuator, pressure scanner, measurement and control software, and calibration wind tunnel into one production chain.

Transonic compressors sit at the heart of modern turbofan engines. They compress air at speeds where the flow transitions between subsonic and supersonic regimes, creating shock waves that interact with the blade boundary layers.

Wind tunnel tests are rarely about measuring a single specification. Each result is passed on in the project, becoming the basis and reference data of the next measurement.

Pressure measurement systems are steadily watching over every test run, collecting the aerodynamic data that determines whether a model can successfully take flight as designed.

The shift toward distributed measurement architectures has placed ethernet intelligent pressure scanners at the center of contemporary flow field testing. Windtuner designed our pressure scanner lineup to meet these demands while keeping the operation process on the user’s side simple and direct.
