Overview
Aerodrome Slipstream develops modular aerodynamic control products designed for small and medium aerodromes, private strips, and aviation support facilities. Combining computational fluid dynamics, precision actuators, and low-noise fans, our systems tame disruptive crosswinds and localized vortices that affect taxiing, ground handling, and aircraft maintenance environments.
Key Features
- Adaptive Flow Control: Real-time sensors adjust slipstream vectors to match wind conditions and runway activity.
- Low-Noise Operation: Acoustic-optimised fans and ducting reduce audible impact near residential zones.
- Energy Efficient: Intelligent scheduling and variable-speed drives cut power draw during idle periods.
- Scalable Modules: Stackable units let you cover taxiways, aprons or entire hangars with the same platform.
- Easy Integration: API and discrete I/O for integration with aerodrome management systems and weather stations.
Technical Specifications
Each Slipstream unit delivers up to 8,500 cubic meters per hour of conditioned airflow, with precision vectoring +/- 10 degrees. Power options include 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase with optional solar/wind hybrid input. Standard telemetry uses LTE/LoRaWAN and local Ethernet.
Operational Benefits
Operators report improved ground handling accuracy, reduced foreign object debris caused by turbulent eddies, and smoother maintenance operations inside hangars. The system supports scheduling around peak arrival and departure windows for maximum efficiency without constant manual intervention.
Safety & Use Cases
Slipstream units are used to reduce localized crosswind effects at short-field runways, stabilise airflow near helicopter pads, and improve environmental control within paint and repair bays. Built with redundant controls and fail-safe damping, our systems comply with industry safety standards for ground-support equipment.
How to Engage
We offer site surveys, CFD modelling packages, and staged rollouts to test performance before full deployment. Contact our engineering team for a tailored demonstration and an ROI assessment specific to your aerodrome layout and traffic profile.
