DRDO wants new wind tunnel for hypersonic weapons

The Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) is looking to commission a one meter diameter hypersonic wind tunnel to meet R&D requirements to support the design of futuristic hypersonic missiles and re-entry vehicles that require generation of large amounts of aerodynamic data. DRDL proposes to set up the facility at Hyderabad. The scope of work of Wind Tunnel System (WTS) includes design, realisation and integration.

Design, realisation and commissioning of high pressure system and vacuum system will be carried out in standalone mode by other vendors and will be made available to Wind Tunnel System vendor. Necessary civil works will be carried out by DRDL, which will also provide input power to the Wind Tunnel Building from LT sub-station and utility water at nearest point. DRDL has stipulated that it requires the facility to be up and running within 48 months.
