The wind tunnel also helps advance research of downforce, which can make vehicles go faster and drive for longer. It's new Mustang, which was tested at the facility, excels at that feature.
Ford used a rolling road wind tunnel to hone the aerodynamics of its 2024 Mustang Dark Horse.
Computer-aided design and computational flow dynamics simulated on a computer have long been used to optimize shape forms, but the new five-belt rolling road system can replicate real-world drag through an aerodynamic tunnel that enables Ford to bring the road to the vehicle, rather than the vehicle to the road.
