A2 wind tunnel

A2 Wind Tunnel is a testing facility in Mooresville that analyzes how air flows around cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. The space allows engineers to test full-scale vehicles and equipment to understand aerodynamic performance.

The facility opened in 2006 and serves clients ranging from motorsport teams to bicycle manufacturers. Over the years it became a resource for engineers working to reduce air resistance on different types of vehicles.

The facility served the U.S. bobsled team during the 2010 Winter Olympics and supported Olympic cyclists Lance Armstrong and Kristin Armstrong.

Visitors watching tests should be prepared for noise and moving air during operation. The facility is best visited when you have a specific testing project or collaboration already arranged.

The tunnel records multiple force measurements including lift, downforce, drag, side forces, yaw, pitch, and roll for comprehensive analysis.
