Ford has developed a new fully mobile aeroacoustic wind tunnel, which is an innovative test system that allows for sources of unwanted wind noise to be identified faster and solutions developed sooner. As a result, customers drive away in cars designed with a quiet interior that's so essential to delivering a refined vehicle experience.

The new wind tunnel debuts at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan - joining a growing fleet of mobile testing facilities including three environmental evaluation chambers.

"This project was born from a desire to be the best when it comes to controlling and limiting the cabin noise customers are sensitive to. And our new mobile wind tunnel saves our engineers time and increases productivity. It's a fine example of the innovation mindset we're trying to incorporate into everything we do," said Bill Gulker, Wind Noise Core Supervisor, Ford.
