Establishment of a Control and Monitoring System for a Wind Tunnel Facility

Ardan Control Tech, part of the Ludan-Tech Group, is leading the design and implementation of electrical and control systems for the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Wind Tunnel, as part of a comprehensive renovation project aimed at improving the facility’s precision and operational efficiency.

The wind tunnel is a critical facility for aerodynamic testing and the development of advanced solutions in the defense and aerospace industries. As part of the project, a complete upgrade of the electrical and control systems was carried out, integrating advanced control technologies to manage test processes with greater precision, reliability, and efficiency.

Project Scope Included:

✅ Design and implementation of control systems integration – enhancing the facility’s automation and accuracy.
✅ Improved management of wind tunnel test processes – streamlining operations and improving measurement outcomes.

Additional IAI Electrical Design Projects:

🔹 Building 421 at MLM Division – customized electrical solutions for the defense industry
🔹 Hangar 24 – electrical design tailored for aircraft maintenance
🔹 Hangar 116 – integration of electrical and control systems in IAI facilities

Through this project, Israel Aerospace Industries is significantly upgrading its aerodynamic testing capabilities, utilizing advanced control systems and improving the electrical performance of the wind tunnel.
