SKN Replaces

Simulations

SKN replaces 10,043,999 potential simulations on a single day. Based on only 4 atmospheric conditions.

Flow Vis Paint 

SKN transforms aerodynamic testing. Replacing rakes, paint, and wind tunnels, with scalable, real-world data that’s faster, cheaper, and repeatable.

Aero Rakes

Utilizing a familiar form factor (tape), SKN replaces complex testing setups with compact, rapidly deployable sensors.

faq

What is the form factor of the product? Is it a tape?
chevron_right

SKN is built directly into a motorsport-grade helicopter-tape profile, creating a flexible, ultra-thin consumable that can be applied anywhere on the vehicle. Each strip has a five-hour useful life, allowing teams to deploy fresh sensors for every session without changing workflows.

How is SKN installed?
chevron_right

SKN is designed for rapid pitlane installation. Inspired by years spent trackside, the product was engineered so any team member can apply it in under 10 minutes.
The form factor mirrors existing heli-tape, allowing SKN to drop seamlessly into current prep routines with no special tools or training required.

What are the environmental tolerances?
chevron_right

SKN is built for the demands of elite motorsport, operating reliably from –45°C to +85°C. The system remains stable through high vibration, high speed, and variable weather conditions.

Can SKN be used on any vehicle platform?
chevron_right

Yes. SKN is platform-agnostic and can be deployed on any vehicle with a 3D model available. Sensor locations are mapped to the digital model, enabling accurate surface visualisation and analysis across motorsport, automotive, aerospace, and defence applications.

Where can SKN be used on the vehicle?
chevron_right

Anywhere. SKN is engineered to reach areas traditional measurement tools can’t, thanks to its flexible, wireless, cut-to-length architecture. Whether you’re analysing high-pressure zones, cooling paths, or complex bodywork, SKN delivers the most accurate real-world aero data available.

Is it expensive?
chevron_right

Quite the opposite. SKN is designed to deliver elite-level aerodynamic insight at a fraction of traditional costs — up to 90% cheaper per hour than wind tunnel testing. By capturing data directly from the vehicle in motion, SKN unlocks real-world accuracy without the limitations of simulation or tunnel time.
