AIRE Project

Following aerodynamic testing at @DTUtweet, AIRE’s research moves to @FraunhoferIWS. Four specimens will undergo rain erosion tests to investigate how leading-edge curvature affects erosion patterns. More details and images in our LinkedIn post: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

After developing six aerofoils using three design methodologies, AIRE selected two for experimental testing.The 21% and 30% aerofoils have now been tested at @DTUtweet Poul la Cour Tunnel in clean and artificially roughened configurations. IR thermography helped examine the flow.

Our toolbox, open and available! Built within project AIRE to help the wind sector design turbines and farms with lower costs and higher energy production. Explore, use, and share i! 👇 aire-project.eu/results/

@ProjectAIRE will be at #WCCMECCOMAS2026, represented by @FraunhoferIWS. On Friday 24, they present a cross-code comparison of three numerical frameworks for thick airfoil aerodynamics. Session MS157D, 11:30–13:00, room ICM – 4a. At the congress? Let us know!

Everything our consortium presented at Torque 2026 is now in our resource section. It's a lot. That's the whole update. 👉🏼 aire-project.eu/resources/

Each blade on AIRE's tallest turbine weighs about as much as 15 family cars 🚗 That gives you a sense of the scale of the machinery behind AIRE's offshore research. Swipe to know more about it.

Today, the @ProjectAIRE consortium meets online for our 8th GA. We’re reviewing recent outcomes, including our toolbox for wind energy decision-making under real climate conditions, and preparing the next step: case-study validation. More soon!

AIRE Project will be at Torque 2026 next week in Bruges On June 3-5, the project will contribute 8 presentations, including keynote, oral and poster sessions. Check the video to find out more.

Over 1,100 datasets from 27 organisations, searchable by topic, terrain, organisation and physical variables. This is WindLab:

Have you heard of the wake effect? In the EU’s race to net-zero, wind farms often face a challenge where upstream turbines reduce the wind velocity reaching those downstream, reducing overall energy output. 👉🏻 Watch the video to learn how the @ProjectAIRE is tackling this
