Ford’s wind tunnel in Cologne has been in operation since 1983. It was designed as an aerodynamic wind tunnel. Flowinduced noise measurements were impossible because of the extremely high self-noise level caused by the fan. In 1998, the wind tunnel was converted into an aero-acoustic wind tunnel, with development and engineering work being provided by WSP Consulting Engineers, Aachen.
