reated more than 50 years ago, NAL has made significant contributions to a large number of national aerospace programmes like civil and military aircraft, space, engine development, and defence and strategic, while contributing vital industrial and societal outputs. NAL is involved in many collaborative projects with international agencies. The lab has also developed significant aerospace-related technologies and is an acknowledged centre of excellence in many fields, including composite structures, high-speed wind tunnel testing, aircraft fatigue and aerospace acoustics, failure analysis, and accident investigation. Major projects currently implemented by NAL: - Hansa all-composite light aircraft - Saras multi-role light transport aircraft

National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), Bangalore, is a constituent institute under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research of India. NAL is a high-technology-oriented institute that concentrates on advanced topics in aerospace and related disciplines. It is India’s only civilian aerospace laboratory. Focus
A wide array of services and programmes
As the harbinger of civil aviation design and development activities in India, NAL designed the Hansa trainer aircraft, which is flying in different flying clubs in India and is set to reach overseas markets. The Saras light transport aircraft is undergoing flight testing and is designed to meet a critical need in the civil aviation segment. A fiveseater general aviation aircraft is currently being designed and feasibility studies on a 50-70-90 seater regional transport aircraft are at an advanced stage.In the civil aviation area, NAL will complete the certification of the Saras, test-fly its general aviation aircraft, and transfer Hansa technology to a production agency. The focus will be on regional transport aircraft.

National Aerospace Laboratories:
incisive know-how

A well-structured organization

trainer aircraft; hardware and software initiatives in parallel processing technologies; design and fabrication of advanced composite structures; failure analysis; and accident investigations.

NAL successfully completed innovative research projects on advanced topics like smart materials, parallel processing, advanced flow diagnostics, airport instrumentation, etc. Its societal contributions include solar and wind energy harnessing, vehicle streamlining for fuel economy, and weather prediction systems. All these contributions have enabled the lab to generate a substantial part of its budget through projects and be a major generator of external cash flow among CSIR laboratories.

NAL offers a variety of services, such as the design and development of composite materials and structures; structural stress/vibration analysis & testing; fatigue & fracture evaluation of materials; failure analysis and accident investigation; testing of structures in an acoustic test facility; software for computational fluid dynamics/aerodynamics studies; testing and optimization of compressor and turbine blade profiles using a cascade tunnel; design and fabrication of complex wind tunnel models; and testing.

The lab is a multi-disciplinary, high-technology organization with an excellent track record and ambitious programmes on hand, including: design, development and fabrication of multirole light transport aircraft; development of India's first all-composite

Set up in 1993 as the business front of the National Aerospace Laboratories, Naltech Private Limited is in charge of marketing the technologies developed by NAL and helping NAL using them. Naltech also promotes and assists research and development activities in all branches of science and technology in NAL and invites the industries to explore the relevant technologies available with it. Naltech can help assessing industry technology requirements in the following areas: composite technology, resin and fibre technology, failure analysis and accident investigation, non-destructive and destructive testing/evaluation, and material characterization. In its 50 years of existence, National Aerospace Laboratories has made a name for itself, with skills, technologies and resources that are recognized well beyond its main centre of interest, the aerospace sector. There is no lack of internal and external projects, especially in the composite materials sector, a field in which NAL has acquired a lot of experience. n
