The Aerodynamics Acoustics and Noise Control Technology Centre (AANTC) use the wind tunnel facility at the AAF for their research on drone propellers. 

Their research focuses on the development of a wind tunnel test rig to evaluate the aerodynamic performance and acoustic characteristics of small-scale UAV propellers. 

Their project focuses on the application of the wind tunnel facility for aerodynamic tests, as well as the large acoustic chamber for unteathered flight testing and acoustic measurements for small-scale UAVs. 

They also utlize the CFD resources at the AAF to perform tackle the reseach challenges from various angles.
