Compliance Required Before Testing
You will NOT be able to test your wing in the wind tunnel if it does not meet the required specifications. Please ensure your prototype is fully compliant before your booked session.
Pre-Testing Checklist
Complete all items before arriving at your booked session. Teams with incomplete setups will not be permitted to test.
-
Wind Tunnel Mount
Correct location and installation verified
-
Morphing Wing Prototype
Fully assembled and functional
-
Electronic & Arduino Setup
Wired, coded, and tested beforehand
-
Servo Motor & Power Supply
Connected and operational
-
Team Data Sheet
Ready to record data and morphing wing deflection
Testing Schedule
Practice Testing Weeks 3–5, 8–9
Each team can book a 20-minute pre-testing slot during their Project Class. Purpose: Identify design flaws early, trial morphing functionality, and refine before formal assessment.

Testing Day Process
Arrive 5 Minutes Early
Come to your designated location with your fully assembled prototype and all team members ready.
Compliance Check
A demonstrator will verify your prototype meets all requirements before testing begins.
Mount & Calibrate
Install your wing on the wind tunnel mount and perform final calibration of your Arduino system.
Conduct Testing
Run your tests, record data on your team data sheet, and document wing deflection measurements.
Pack Up
Carefully remove your prototype, ensure the testing area is clean for the next team.
