Wind Tunnel Testing Services Specifications

Help with Wind Tunnel Testing Services specifications:

Capabilities

	Your choices are...
	Testing / Simulation		Suppliers that inspect existing in-service or newly fabricated products through environmental exposure testing, dynamics testing, nondestructive testing (NDT), visual inspection, chemical analysis or structural material testing.
	Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) / R&D		Research and development services providers perform original investigations (research) to gain new knowledge, and/or apply research findings to create new or significantly improved products or processes (development). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a common tool used in conjunction or in place of wind tunnel testing. CFD can simulate aerodynamic conditions. Often a model is tested and then used to verify and calibrate a CFD simulation.
	Test Development / Planning		Suppliers that develop tests and protocols for custom or proprietary parts and systems.
	Test Fixtures / Equipment		Suppliers that offer design and fabrication services, test fixtures, test equipment, or test facilities for specific applications.
	Model Design / Fabrication		Model design and fabrication preparation services providers create a smaller scale model duplicating the design of a larger aircraft or structure.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted capabilities.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Configuration / Form Factor
	Your choices are...
	Components / Parts		Suppliers provide testing or related services at the component or part level.
	Products		Suppliers provide testing or related services at the complete finished product level.
	Facilities / Capital Equipment		Suppliers provide testing, inspection or related services for large capital equipment or facilities.
	Samples / Materials		Suppliers provide testing or related services for test panels or samples taken from a part, product, or facility; or fabricated to simulate a product sub-system.
	Other		Suppliers provide testing or related services at an unlisted or specialized level or form factor.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Services

	Services Offered
	Your choices are...
	Aerodynamics / Flow Testing		Aerodynamics and flow testing includes evaluation and analysis of the airflow, gas flow or fluid flow around a model or product as well the wake or downstream flow.
	Altitude Simulation		Suppliers simulate high altitude conditions to test products needed to function in extreme temperature and low in low oxygen.
	Decompression / Vacuum		Supplier simulate exposure to a vacuum atmosphere or to explosive decompression.
	Pressure / Load Testing		Supplier can adjust and/or evaluate the pressures or loads across a model or product during wind tunnel testing.
	Performance Testing		Performance testing evaluates the compliance of a system or component with specified performance requirements.
	Reliability / Robustness		Reliability or robustness measures a system's invulnerability to potentially corrupting influences. This testing is especially important when components in a system fail.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted or specialty services.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
