The wind tunnel balance also has at least one fastening device that is suitable for fastening a vehicle to the conveyor belt in a predetermined position, a frame, and a platform that is supported so that it is able to move relative to the frame; force measuring elements are provided between the platform and the frame and are able to detect forces between the frame and platform, and the fastening device is attached to the platform in stationary fashion. The invention permits a high-precision detection of aerodynamic forces in wind tunnel measurements or tests.
