摘要

The Aerodynamics Center at RUAG Aviation started operation in Emmen, Switzerland, during the mid-1940s researching military aerodynamics, Soon, development of wind tunnel-associated equipment began, and international military and civil aviation projects were acquired. In the 1980s, the first wind tunnel tests with a moving ground were performed for motorsport projects, and a long and important involvement in the automotive field began. The main location of RUAG Aviation is in the central part of Switzerland near Lucerne The company is still rooted, as the name suggests, in the aerospace business, and operates several wind tunnels for aviation, but also serves automotive development. The model wind tunnel is almost exclusively used for automotive purposes for race and production cars; the tunnel derives its name from this focus: the Automotive Wind Tunnel Emmen (AWTE).
