There was some chatter about this being with Manik. I did not see an official source though. https://thediplomat.com/2019/02/india-to-test-fire-nuclear-capable-nirbhay-cruise-missile-in-april/

Great. I did not find any report that mentioned this. Remember only the 3 failures and 1 test that did not take place during December last. If the straight path was successful, they would have IMHO done smaller turn tests where the destination would be just a few hundred meters/few kilometers to...

Why don't they test a straight path first and then get to the turns and height differentials later on?

Good that diagnostic tests are upto the mark.

What is a CFD computer? Regarding Nirbhay, the hardware itself should be in the known expertise of the engineers, as it is just a one time use aircraft. The software is surely an issue, but given the existing simulation possibilities, even that should be done IMO. I hope they are successful.

@kurup had posted the NOTAM for 25/26th of May earlier. Did it change?

Not only should it have been easier part, but also the easiest to quality check statically and in a mock run. Not sure if I am convinced with this root cause analysis.

No official word out yet. But the delay does not too hopeful.

@kurup It is supposed to be given out by the aviation authority and goes by the name of NOTAM.

They made it turn around and come back closer to the launch site. Good share sirji.
