I also want to the wind tunnels used for LCA. Last time when I checked, india simple does not have complete wind tunnels for designing such aircraft.
Let me give you some idea, in China, our fighters models are tested in city of Mianyang, there are numerous different wind tunnels there. I am now asking where is yours?
First of all, pray tell me what is a
"complete" wind tunnel?
Apart from what IndianArmy has enumerated, there is one more at IISc, Bangalore (two if you count their facility for rotorcrafts as a different unit).
Also, one more Hypersonic wind tunnel is in it's final stage of construction at Hyderabad (ASL). This is going to be one of the biggest such facility in all the world!
No troll please, I am asking a photo showing its indian testbed aircraft in india.
If you don't understand what is a testbed, search our J-8II ACT aircraft on google. it is the testbed for our J-10's control system.
Let's be crystal clear: if you claim LCA's control system is designed by india, then please show me the testbed aircraft. I would expect that testbed belong to india.
You presume too much, dude! IndianArmy has replied well giving you the basics of indian CLAW efforts.
The LCA TD1 was the testbed aircraft where the FCS was finally proved and this was one of the reasons for the slow initial testing phase.
Here are the details of the Indian test facilities for IFCS.
A) Engineer in loop simulator at NAL.
Salient Features
1.Real time control law design simulator with excellent real world visuals.
2.Rapid prototyping tool for Tejas handling qualities optimisation
3.Simulator has been used to develop and integrate the six degrees of freedom DoFs model; all the critical subsystemmodels of Tejas such as primary actuator nonlinear models complex undercarriage model, etc
B) Structural coupling test facility at HAL.
Salient Features
1.Provides necessary instrumentation and control for conducting the structural coupling test on the Tejas aircraft
2.Provides adequate data for notch filter design to avoid control structure interaction and for flight clearance
towards aircraft structure.
3.Computer controlled VXI and GPIB based automatic test equipment.
C) IFCS evaluation facility at ADA.
1.Real-time, ground based test facility equipped with state of the art air data test station air data test system
flight dynamics simulator engineering test station portable avionics test station data acquisition and
analysis and storage systems
2.Developed for Tejas IFCS evaluation with air data computers.
3.Real avionics LRU interfaces with DFCC in open-loop mode.
4.Automated test facility for enhanced throughput with minimal human intervention.
D) Dome based real time simulator at ADE.
Simulator for pilot in loop evaluation of control law for handling quality assessment.
E) Mini Bird test facility at ADE.
1.Real-time, hardware in loop and engineer in loop ground based test facilities for carrying out hardware
software integration.
2.Provides capability to drive the DFCC OFP either through the control of engineer pilot or through the canned
inputs fromthe host computer.
3.Hydraulic rig provides interface between DFCC and actuators Visual display provided in the cockpit.
F) IRON Bird 1 and 2 test facilities at ARDC, HAL.
1.Real-time hardware in loop and engineer/pilot in loop ground based test facility for Tejas IFCS evaluation.
2.The ironmongery is similar to Tejas fighter structure and all FCS actuators are mounted and hydraulically
powered.
3.Tejas single pilot cockpit simulated avionics system under carriage and nose wheel system are also coupled in
the rig.
4.Engineering test station to interface with DFCC and to inject failures and flight dynamics simulator to simulate
the flight.
5.A host of data acquisition analysis and storage computers.
6.Sub system integration system integration performance verification of air data system and control law pilot
in loop normal failure mode and fault free tests and built in tests for IFCS are carried out.
Are you happy now?
.. Lol , And You dint have to explain him so much as he still will question you...
