Introduction
The Aerodynamics and Acoustics Facility (AAF), was formerly named the CLP Power Wind/Wave Tunnel Facility (WWTF). The facility is one of central research facilities at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). The facility was first opened by the Hon. Tung Chee Hwa, Chief Executive of Hong Kong SAR, the Chancellor of HKUST, and the Hon. Michael D. Kadoorie, Chairman of CLP Holdings, on the 9th of June, 2000. Between 2015 and 2019, the facility was redeveloped with a brand new state-of-the-art low-noise wind tunnel, and world-class large acoustic testing laboratories, focused towards to a new era of modern and exciting aerodynamics and acoustics research and development.

We are glad to welcome high school students from the Hong Kong Secondary Student Space Station Popular Science Payload and Science Experiment Design Challenge to visit AAF. We had introduced our Large Wind Tunnel and Acoustic Lab, along with our research highlight and achievements, to enhance students’ knowledge of aerospace and its applications.
We are honored to welcome Mr. Richard Liu (刘强东), the founder of JINGDONG, to our Aerodynamics and Acoustics Facility. Prof. ZHANG Xin and Prof. ZHOU Peng presented a series of assessments to illustrate how drones can function effectively while reducing their acoustic impact. For example, LAE noise assessment, route planning, wind safety, low noise design, drone testing in an anechoic chamber, and an outdoor drone noise assessment system.
We are pleased to welcome the outstanding students and teachers from Beijing Tsinghua University and Jiangsu Zheng Liangmei Senior High School to visit our facilities. Prof. Zhou Peng introduced our low-noise low-speed wind tunnel, and the world-class large acoustic testing laboratories.
