| Abstract(E) | The Catesby Aero Research Facility (CARF) is a tunnel-based aerodynamic proving ground put into operation in 2019 with investment from SUBARU through its corporate venture capital, and its facility characteristics and measurement technologies are presented. A 2.7 km straight track converted from a former railway tunnel enables continuous coast-down testing to very low speeds, providing higher repeatability than outdoor testing. The facility is expected to bridge the gap between CFD, conventional wind tunnel testing, and on-road testing. |
