Hyve Dynamics
AUTOMOTIVE & HIGH-PERFORMANCE VEHICLES

Continuous Surface Monitoring for Vehicle Aerodynamics & Performance Development

Hyve provides dense, real-time pressure, temperature, and strain data across vehicle surfaces — enabling faster aerodynamic development, improved wind tunnel correlation, and real-world performance validation.

Key Features & Benefits

Real-Time Surface Data

High-frequency measurement of aerodynamic pressure, thermal behaviour, and structural loads during wind tunnel or track testing.

Ultra-Thin & Non-Intrusive

Conformable flexible sensor arrays adapt to vehicle surfaces without affecting airflow or structural integrity.

High-Density Measurement

Dense multi-point sensing across the surface captures continuous pressure distribution rather than discrete measurement points.

Accelerated Development Cycles

Reduce iteration time between CFD, wind tunnel testing, and track validation.

EV Efficiency Insights

Identify aerodynamic drag sources and thermal inefficiencies affecting vehicle range and cooling performance.

Hyve enables high-resolution surface instrumentation for automotive aerodynamics, motorsport development, and EV efficiency optimisation. Non-invasive sensor arrays deploy rapidly in testing environments, delivering real-time pressure, thermal, and structural data across complex vehicle geometries.

Hyve enables faster aerodynamic development across motorsport, EV platforms, and next-generation high-performance vehicles.

Motorsport Aerodynamic Development

Real-Time Downforce Mapping

Measure pressure distribution across wings, floor, and bodywork during track testing.

Brake Duct Optimisation

Simultaneous temperature and pressure measurement to validate cooling airflow.

Active Aero Validation

Quantify pressure changes during aerodynamic state transitions.

Tunnel-to-Track Correlation
