RFP 26-58018 Laboratory Wind Wall for Unmanned Aircraft Complex Flow Testing The National Research Council of Canada-s - Aerospace Research Centre (NRC AERO) has a requirement for the design, fabrication, delivery, and commissioning of a Laboratory Wind Wall System (The System). The System will support NRC-s Drone and Flight Autonomy Laboratory (DFAL) in research focused on the performance, control, and safety of mid-size unmanned aircraft (drones) operating in complex aerodynamic environments, such as ship airwakes and urban wind fields, across all Canadian seasons. The System must provide controlled, repeatable, and configurable airflow conditions for testing unmanned aircraft in free flight. BACKGROUND: The aerodynamic performance and stability of unmanned aircraft operating in complex wind environments are not yet fully understood, particularly across different propulsion configurations. NRC-s research program requires a large-scale Wind Wall System capable of generating controlled wind and turbulence conditions for outdoor free-flight testing of mid-size unmanned aircraft. The System will form part of a new outdoor test capability at NRC-s Drone and Flight Autonomy Laboratory (DFAL) located at the NRC Mirabel site. This facility will enable the evaluation of aircraft systems and Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) developed technologies under controlled aerodynamic conditions representative of operational environments in Canada, including ship airwakes and urban wind field...
