The present paper describes ETW’s recent activities on the flow quality assessment. Around 25 years after the primary flow quality assessment and several changes to the tunnel circuit, the new flow quality assessment confirms ETW’s ability to perform high-Reynolds-number laminar flow testing at low subsonic conditions as well as transonic Mach numbers.
