Aeronautics Defence Evaluation Research Institute (ADERI)


Panoramic view of the medium speed wind tunnel

The ADERI focuses on developing and applying SET capabilities in the areas of experimental and computational aeromechanics as well as in aerostructures. The combination of talented engineers, scientists and technicians with modern facilities – including wind tunnels, structural test facilities and computer clusters – has resulted in a hub of world-class aeronautical expertise.

Typical activities and competencies include wind-tunnel testing; material specification and testing; helicopter structural and aerodynamic technology; gas turbine engine technology; air weapons flow and structural characterisation; flutter analysis and prediction; store carriage and release prediction; computational fluid dynamics; portable ground vibration testing; flutter flight test software and hardware systems; simulation-based acquisition and operational support; mechanical weapons and store integration; and aircraft structures technology.
