What it is for
The University of Bristol has awarded a contract for an advanced optical motion capture system in support of the DAWS2 project. The DAWS2 project, led by Airbus and supported by Innovate UK, focuses on developing advanced wing solutions for future fuel-efficient aircraft designs. The University of Bristol is a critical partner. In one work package, we are tasked with designing, building, and testing highly flexible wings within the seven-by-five-foot wind tunnel at the University of Bristol. The project requires an advanced optical motion capture system capable of real-time tracking to extract accurate static and dynamic displacement data during wind tunnel testing.
