UTM wind tunnel has capability to provide wide range of testing
include aircraft, ground surface vehicle and industrial aerodynamics
such as building, bridges, street-lantern light and wind turbine. UTM low speed wind tunnel (UTM-LST) has served for more than 8 years to
facilitate teaching, research and industrial application in aeronautical
and non-aeronautical field in Malaysia. With the State-Of-The-Art
test facility in term of flow-quality, instrumentation, control and Data
Acquisition; our vision is to become a Centre Of Excellence for wind
tunnel testing in Malaysia and within the region.
Without doubt, this wind tunnel is qualified in serving a wide range
of testing that include not only aeronautical and automotive, but also
general wind engineering type of testing. Perhaps, as the number, of
offshore structures, grows steadily around the country, so would be
also an increasingly demand on aerodynamic supported platform
design which relies heavily on experimental wind tunnel testing work.
The wind tunnel is operated under the department of the Aeronautical,
Automotive and Ocean Engineering, and Transport Research Alliance,
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, in Skudai, situated around 22 km
north-west of Johor Bahru.
