The UK National Wind Tunnel Facility is an initiative in which 23 wind tunnels across 11 UK universities operate in a co-ordinated and shared manner. The hub provides an outward-facing anchor and single point of contact for stakeholder engagement and training. NWTF constitutes a multi-sectoral, cross- discipline investment, ensuring that UK expertise remains internationally pre-eminent. It promotes collaboration nationally and removes entry barriers internationally with individual facilities acting as a node for the sharing of new knowledge and expertise. The over-arching principle is that the whole of NWTF delivers outcomes that are greater than the sum of its individual facilities which are open access for early career researchers.
