SYNOPSIS

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Aeronautics Laboratory (UTM Aerolab) is a one of UTM research centre that focusses on aerospace, automotive, wind engineering, research activities, industrial consultation and support on educational development in UTM. The main facility is a low speed wind tunnel (UTM-LST) with a maximum wind speed of 290 km/h with an excellent flow qualities. The laboratory aims to be the focal point and centre of excellence in wind tunnel testing in Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific region. The laboratory is accredited under MS ISO/IEC 17025:2017 in 2021. This laboratory has registered with Subsonic Aerodynamic Testing Association (SATA) since 2002. The talk will further discuss the challenges and opportunities in operating this laboratory.
