SAE Wind Tunnel Test Procedure for Trucks and Buses
J1252
The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is sufficiently broad that it encompasses the full range of full-scale medium and heavy duty vehicles represented as either full-scale or reduced-scale wind tunnel models. The document provides guidance for wind tunnel testing to support current vehicle characterization, vehicle development, vehicle concept development, and vehicle component development.
Rationale: Periodic review of standards for wind tunnel test procedures is necessary to incorporated new knowledge and developments in understanding of the critical factors affecting truck and bus testing.
