SKYTOP ANECHOIC CHAMBER
The Skytop Anechoic Chamber is a Mach 1.6 capable facility, acoustically treated with fiberglass wedges. The roof of the facility features an Industrial Commercial Equipment HVAC system which allows for temperature control.
SUBSONIC WIND TUNNEL
The sub-sonic wind tunnel is a closed-loop facility with a 2×2 foot test section. It features a variable sting mount capable of recording forces experienced by an object within the test section. It also contains multiple pressure tap systems to record velocities of the flow along with specific boundary layer measurements.
OUTDOOR FLOW LAB
The exterior shear flow generator was constructed in 2019 for use with UAS projects. It features both an open and honeycomb structure connected to the exhaust system of the anechoic chamber. A UAS mount and gimbal system is located downstream of the shear flow generator to mount
WATER CHANNEL
The water channel is located at Syracuse University’s Center of Excellence. The free surface can be enclosed to ensure minimization of surface effects. A honeycomb flow straightener and three screens are used to condition the flow.
WINDSHAPER
The Windshaper is a fan-array wind generator. The fans are individually controlled which allows for testing in a wide variety of flows. This facility is currently being used to test the effectiveness of UAV control schemes. The Windshaper is provided by the company Windshape, which operates here in Syracuse.
