A tool providing clarity and confidence for aerodynamic and aeroacoustic innovation… The HALO Wind Tunnel.
Honda Automotive Labs of Ohio (HALO) was established to support Honda’s North America product development and racing activity.
The HALO Wind Tunnel brings three facility configurations into one:
1. Wide Belt Moving Ground Plane (MGP)
2. 5-Belt MGP
3. Aeroacoustics / Wind Only
While HALO’s wind tunnel supports both aerodynamics and aeroacoustics for Honda programs, we are excited to extend the opportunity for your company to take advantage of this facilities advanced capabilities in a wind only or aeroacoustic configuration. (Support of use in aerodynamic configuration is still under investigation.)
We are exploring how best to provide for outside customers as soon as Fall 2023+. Let’s talk about how we can elevate your innovation!
OVERVIEW
The TOOLS…
• Aeroacoustic Wind Tunnel: 0 – 310 kph (192 mph)
• Acoustic Performance: <57 dBA at 140 kph (87 mph)
• Turntable: 180-degree range
• Integrated Microphone Array System (502 External + 54 Internal) with Cameras
The CLARITY…
• Create a 3D visual map of the sound levels in real-time
• Pinpoint noise sources within 5 cm (2 in.)
• Binaural data acquisition for playback comparisons and psychoacoustic analysis
The CONFIDENCE…
• Pre-programmable run sequences for repeatability and efficiency
• Rapid test iteration indexing for a broad range of design concept refinement
• Secure preparation space and data management practices protecting your intellectual property
