Bihrle Applied Research engineers have some of the most extensive testing experience in the industry. With testing backgrounds that cover test operations in wind tunnel facilities worldwide, our test engineers combined test experience includes over 70,000 hours of static and dynamic
wind tunnel testing. Bihrle personnel have designed and developed data acquisition systems that have been deployed in wind tunnels world wide, acquiring some of the most complex time dependant data as part of these activities. Our experience covers the widest range of test activities
from static to dynamic force and moment data acquisition to static and dynamic global pressure data acquisition for analysis and visualization. In support of these activities Bihrle has obtained a widespread catalog of data acquisition support equipment and facilities that can be
deployed to support customer's needs. The test equipment ranges from an extensive force and moment balance inventory, to complete, portable data acquisition systems, to pressure data acquisition hardware such as PSI ESP modules, Kulites and pressure rakes,
as well as the associated acquisition systems needed to collect these data in a time averaged as well as a time dependant fashion. With this broad background in wind tunnel test operations, test data system design, data acquisition and reduction, Bihrle can provide wind tunnel test
consulting services that range from basic test program design to the on site test support and data acquisition.
