An EU initiative enhanced the research potential and service capabilities of three strategic wind tunnels in Europe.
Three of the world's leading advanced wind tunnels are ONERA S1MA in France, DNW-LLF in the Netherlands and ETW in Germany. In order for these tunnels to compete in the modern wind tunnel testing environment, infrastructure of excellent performance and quality is needed. This was the overall aim of the EU-funded project ESWIRP (European strategic wind tunnels improved research potential).
