Design and manufacture of a Large Multirotor Test Bed

The contract entails the design and manufacture of a Large Multirotor Test Bed intended for aerodynamic testing in the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex at NASA Ames Research Center. This test bed will support two rotor systems and must provide integrated power and structural support, alongside an array of onboard measurement systems that will be finalized during development. The project is focused on enabling advanced wind tunnel experiments to gather critical aerodynamic data, with the specific instrumentation yet to be defined but expected to support comprehensive performance analysis. The initiative is forecasted by NASA’s Ames Research Center under the NAICS code 541330, indicating it falls within engineering services, and is posted as a preliminary notice with no solicitation number or set-aside designation as of May 25, 2026. There is no designated point of contact listed, and the place of performance is tied to the NASA facility without precise geographic details beyond the center’s location. The scope suggests a high-precision engineering effort requiring close alignment with NASA’s testing protocols and infrastructure capabilities at the NFAC.
