Small and effective  

Small models of cars or components of cars can be tested efficiently. But also buildings,   ship or aircraft models could be tested and checked for their aerodynamic resistance or behaviour. On this platform basic aerodynamic pre-configurations can be tested and optimized in a very early stage of a new design or a development process.
