X-Stream Wind Tunnel with Vehicle Platform Sensor
The Vehicle Platform Sensor (VPS) is an exceptional addition to your CO2 dragster program. When a model vehicle is positioned inside the testing chamber of the X-Stream Wind Tunnel, the VPS simultaneously measures lift forces on front and rear axles and front drag on the vehicle. Data is displayed on the handheld controller. Includes hardware and instructions.
Vehicle Platform Sensor (VPS) system offers several great features:
- Use with CO2 dragsters and model vehicles.
- Onboard display for instantaneous feedback
- Simultaneous measurement of front drag and lift on both axles
- Adjustable sensing plates accommodate a wide range of vehicle designs.
