Project of a structure from a container with agreed dimensions.It is defined in the project, the transport and assembly of the containers for their rapid exchange of parts to be analyzed.The model is prepared in the outside room where there are three more containers to carry out a continuous assembly of prototypes.When the prototype to be analyzed is ready, it turns the platform and prepares to enter the control section of the wind tunnel.Through sensors, the container is aligned with the fixed section of the tunnel and with a series of pistons they move the profile of the box that contains rubber gaskets to fit perfectly in the tunnel section and avoid pressure losses and air leaks.The transport from the preparation room to the analysis room, can be both by rails and by wheels. In this case, the study has been carried out with rails.In the assembly of the model inside the container, a quick adjustment model has been proposed for the exchange of models.
