What are Service Centers
Embry-Riddle Service Centers, sometimes referred to as “recharge centers”, are operating units created for the primary purpose of providing goods, services, or a group of services to internal and external users within the University community. The center is managed as a self-supporting, break-even unit. Services may range from highly complex or specialized to standard support services. A service center is principally for academic use and sponsored research activity, and when excess capacity exists, provides services to external users.

Wind Tunnel Facility
The Embry Riddle 6-by-4 feet Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (LSWT) is a large, state-of-the-art, closed-return type, atmospheric pressure, subsonic wind tunnel. The wind tunnel has a nominally rectangular test section of 6-by-4 feet with tapered corner fillets.
The test section is 12 feet long. Flow speeds of up to 420 ft/s (286 mph) can be obtained in the test section with the 1,200 horsepower (0.9 MW) motor driving its 8-foot diameter fan. Measured turbulence levels in the test section are uniformly less than 0.2% of flow speed.

WiDE Laboratory
The mission of the Wireless Devices and Electromagnetics Laboratory (WiDE) is to advance the state of the art of wireless circuits and antennas (up to mm-wave frequencies) while educating the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs in this domain.
Laboratory researchers have expertise on a wide range of topics in avionics and aerospace communications and sensing, including RADAR, satellite communications, and UAS Sense and Avoid. The lab prominently features an ETS-Lindgren Far-Field Antenna Anechoic Chamber up to 20 GHz with dimensions of 12 feet x 12 feet x 24 feet.
