Build a wind tunnel to meet your unique testing needs. Individually controlled fans create complex flow profiles — turbulence, wind shear, time-variable wind, and more. Modular and portable, unlike anything else on the market.
Individually controlled fans let you create turbulence, wind shear, time-variable wind, and complex spatial flow distributions — impossible with conventional tunnels.
Assemble and disassemble in minutes. Ship globally. Configure Wind Wall, Convergent, Test Section, or Divergent layouts from the same modular components.
Script complex wind profiles with Python or use the WindControl Navigator GUI. Full API access lets you sync tunnel control with thrust stand data acquisition.
Every configuration is built from the same modular Windshaper components. Mix and match to create the test environment your application demands.
Open test area configuration for large-scale testing without spatial constraints. Ideal for full-drone aerodynamic evaluation.

Wind Tunnel Software
Create multidimensional wind profiles u=f(x,y,t) with manual control or full Python scripting. Design steady-state flows, gusts, turbulence sequences, and spatial gradients — then replay them with sub-second precision across all fan modules simultaneously.
Wind Walls provide the same Windshaper fan technology in an open configuration — no enclosed test section, no spatial constraints. Perfect for full-size drones and larger test objects.
Flow generators for aerodynamic testing up to 20 m/s / 45 mph. Array configurations from 2×1 to 8×4 fan modules. Same software, same modular components — open to the world.

"The system has been working well for us. Most recently we used it for static testing of a powered glider platform to supply incoming airflow over the fuselage — measuring power draw and heat buildup throughout the fuselage with incoming flow, simulating slow-speed flight."

"The Tyto thrust stand and 2×2 Windshaper have been game-changers in our propeller development. For a windmilling drone like ours, custom propellers are critical — and Tyto's tools have helped us uncover performance gains we'd never see in static tests."

"The Windshaper has been an invaluable tool in our research to better understand the interactions between flow and drones in windy and gusty conditions. Using the Windshaper and bubble tracking, we were able to precisely characterize how LaDrone reacts to wind gusts!"
