AeroDyn Wind Tunnel

Website concepts — three directions

Three working prototypes, not mockups. Each one is live code running AeroDyn's own logo, its own pressure-map colours, its own photography and its own copy. All three deliberately avoid the motorsport-website cliché — the dark hero, the sweeping car photo, the three-icon feature grid — and are built instead from the material AeroDyn already works in every day. Click any panel to open it full size and scroll through it.

Direction A · recommended

Test Section

Thesis
The site behaves like the tunnel's own instrumentation.
World
AeroDyn's real floor-pressure colormap becomes the brand system — suction blue, through field yellow, to pressure red. Those are already the two colours in the logo.
Signature
A live 264-tap pressure field fills the first viewport. The yaw sweep is scrubbable, built from AeroDyn's own footage.
Trade-off
The most moving parts to keep fast on mobile.
Open A
Direction B

Report TN‑1856

Thesis
AeroDyn's credibility is documentary, so the site becomes the document.
World
A mid-century aerospace technical report — cold grey-green stock, one spot red, hairline rules, numbered sections, typewriter tables. Earned by Gary Romberg's Saturn V and Boeing lineage.
Signature
Opens on a report cover with a real abstract, both engineers credited as authors.
Trade-off
Reads as a document more than a sales page. Authoritative, but quieter.
Open B
Direction C

Run Sheet

Thesis
You navigate the facility the way you navigate a test day.
World
AeroDyn's own conditional-formatted spreadsheet — field yellow, hard hairline grid, blue suction cells, red pressure cells, frozen headers, sheet tabs, formula bar.
Signature
A run executes down the matrix in real time and the cell reference tracks it.
Trade-off
The boldest and least conventional of the three. A data table has to carry the first ten seconds.
