Model Shop
AAR has built their own
precision wind tunnel models for the past two decades. Their extensive model
making experience includes models for their current 40% scale wind tunnel
(established in 1993) as well as models for their previous smaller scale
wind tunnel and their impressive and unique water tunnel. Their model shop,
run by Head Aerodynamicist Hiro Fujimori, has designed and produced over 100
scale models for its wind and water tunnels. Because the models run in the
wind tunnel with a rolling road and under high stress loads, the models need
the utmost precision and accuracy. With the experienced gained from building
models for their participation in the highest levels of motorsport, AAR
has the knowledge, the understanding, and the technical expertise to tackle
any new model project.
