26-58018 Laboratory Wind Wall System, Amendment #5The National Research Council of Canada’s Aerospace Research Centre is seeking a turnkey Laboratory Wind Wall System for free-flight testing of mid-size unmanned aircraft in complex aerodynamic environments such as ship airwakes and urban wind fields. The system is designed as a vertically stacked fan array with a nominal 5 m × 5 m exit face, positioned 3 m above ground level, and must deliver a controlled, repeatable, and configurable airflow across a test plane located 5–6 m downstream, with a minimum 4 m × 4 m uniform flow region. The system must achieve peak axial wind speeds of 21–22 m/s with turbulence intensity ranging from 7% to 25%, and maintain minimum speeds of 1 m/s, while supporting ramp-up acceleration of 10 m/s² and ramp-down deceleration of -5 m/s², with a swirl number of 0.5 at the test plane. Each fan must be independently controllable with incremental speed adjustments of 0.2 m/s and gradients of up to 2 m/s per meter, with integral length scales between 2 and 50 m. The wind wall must operate reliably across Canadian climates—from -20°C to +30°C for normal operation, with a minimum of 800 cold starts, and be stored safely between -20°C and +60°C. All electrical components must meet Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) and IP65 standards for high-voltage enclosures, and the system must comply with IP34 for operation in rain or snow. A 20,000-hour operational lifespan is required, and the entire system must be delivered as a fully commissioned, self-supporting unit with an engineered foundation anchored to meet National Building Code of Canada wind load standards, sealed by a licensed professional engineer. The system’s control software must be compatible with Windows 10/11 and major Linux distributions, support GPS-timestamped data output, external triggers for synchronized logging, and automation of repeatable wind profiles. Redundancy must be built into the system to maintain airflow stability in the event of a single fan failure, and a physical emergency stop must be installed for immediate shutdown. An optional expansion to a 7 m × 7 m configuration must be designed into the base system with equivalent fan modules, compatible structural and control systems, and must remain functional with the same performance standards. The proposal must include separate pricing for the optional upgrade, which
