BMW opens world’s quietest wind tunnel and new electric testing center
The new Aeroacoustics and Electric Drive Center (AEC) has started operations at the BMW Group’s Research and Innovation Center (FIZ) in Munich. After forty years, the old aeroacoustic wind tunnel is being replaced with this new facility update.
The new building consists of two halves. One half hosts the workshop, testing, measurement equipment and a prototype line for high-voltage batteries and inverters. The other is the technically and structurally unique wind tunnel – 100m, with a height of 45m and a width of 25m, which BMW claims is both the world’s largest vertical acoustic wind tunnel and the quietest.
