Drones are either tested outdoors quite remote from the\nobserver, in not well documented, uncontrolled and unpredictable weather conditions, or tightly strapped onto a support\nin a conventional wind tunnel with laminar and uniform wind flows, which are inadequate representations of atmospheric\nconditions relevant to drones. Existing tests, thus, entail a high risk of reaching false conclusions about drone\nperformance. In order to resolve the issues associated with traditional wind tunnels or outdoor testing protocols, a\nreal weather simulator for testing flying vehicles in various and controllable atmospheric conditions was developed. The\nwind and weather facility consists of an array of a large number of fans that may be arranged in various patterns on\ndemand.",[43,66,67],{},"It subjects drones to winds of variable intensity and direction as well as various weather conditions (such as rain,\nsnow, hail, fog etc.) that reflect real world situations.
