Indian scientist have successfully tested a prototype of small turbofan engine named "manik" at Leh situated at an altitude of above 11600 ft.This is part of high altitude cold climate trials.It was started in February this year.
The design,selection of materials and the control logics used for lightning and acceleration of the engine to a minimum speed are validated by this successful test.
As IAF (Indian Airforce) is looking for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) that can operate in high altitude,the successful test of 450 kg thrust class engine is great achievement.
