TECH FOCUS:
TESTiNg
Even more, the wind tunnel
can quickly enable a
sophisticated acoustic test
system for an aeroacoustic
testing mode that utilizes a
powerful system of acoustic
arrays, made up of microphones
and cameras, able to collect realtime
data and precision
measurement. This becomes
even more important as an
element of vehicle design as
Honda moves toward its
electrified future.
Compared to conventional
The main fan is a total of 8 meters in diameter with 12 hollow, carbon-fiber,
fixed-pitch blades and driven by a five-megawatt, 6700-hp electric motor.
Central Ohio, is the world's most advanced wind
tunnel, with three separate state-of-the art testing
functions - aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and racing
- in one location.
Honda created the multifunctional HALO facility to
reinforce its commitment to developing fuel-efficient
and fun-to-drive vehicles. One of the most advanced
of its kind anywhere, the wind tunnel uses a unique
interchangeable modular ground plane system
capable of aerodynamic vehicle testing of production
vehicles and race machines.
With a five-belt rolling road system designed for
production vehicle development and a second single
wide-belt system for testing both high-performance
sports cars and purpose-built race vehicles, the tunnel
can generate wind speeds of more than 190 miles per
hour with a 6,700-hp electric motor driving the fan of
8-meter diameter.
UPDATE
vehicles, noise reduction
becomes an even more
important element in EV design.
Absent engine and exhaust
sounds, wind noise will be more
noticeable inside the cabin of an
electric vehicle. Using the
acoustic test system, Honda
engineers will be able to identify
the precise locations of both
interior and exterior noise issues
more quickly than ever before.
" Honda's product
development capabilities will
advance to new heights thanks
to this investment in our Ohio
research operations, " said Jim
Keller, Executive Vice President
of Honda Development &
Manufacturing of America, LLC
(HDMA), and leader of the
